Also results showed moderate significant effects against growth of Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus mirabilis and Serratia marsecense it reached to 31mm, 30mm, 29 mm, 24 mm in diameter respectively, it inhibited the growth of all these species which were resistant to some commonly used antibiotics.
