Table 1.

Escherichia coli

As indicated in the table above, the crude extract, aqueous extract, and ceftriaxone attained an
average of 0 bacterial colonies of Escherichia coli which proves that the three substances are effective
against the bacteria. The tap water attained an average of 98.7 bacterial colonies of Escherichia coli. This
shows that tap water has no significant effect against Escherichia coli, which serves as the negative
control of the set ups.

Table 2. Disk diffusion test e. coli

Three trials for each experimental group- crude extract, aqueous extract and ceftriaxone, were
tested. The crude extract attained an average of 6.5 mm zone of inhibition. The aqueous extract attained
an average of 6.3 mm zone of inhibition. The ceftriaxone antibiotic attained an average of 12.5 mm zone
of inhibition. The tap water had no effect on the bacteria resulting to an average of 0 mm zone of
inhibition against Escherichia coli.

Table 3. S. epidermis

The table shows similar results with table 1. The crude extract, aqueous extract, and ceftriaxone
attained an average of 0 bacterial colonies of staphylococcus epidermidis. The tap water attained an
average of 2837.7 staphylococcus epidermidis colonies, having no significant effect against the bacteria.

Table 4. Disk diffusion test s. epidermidis

The crude extract attained an average of 5.7 mm zone of inhibition against staphylococcus
epidermidis. The aqueous extract attained an average of 6.3 mm zone of inhibition. The ceftriaxone
attained the greatest zone of inhibition having an average of 21.7 mm zone of inhibition. The tap water,
having no significant effect on the bacteria, attained an average of 0 mm zone of inhibition.
