Table 4

Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of potential extracts against pathogenic bacteria.

Extracts	Bacteria
	K. pneumoniae	Proteus spp.	E. coli	Pseudomonas spp.
PE	6.72	—	—	—
BZ	—	28.40	—	—
CH	20.20	—	—	—
ET	—	—	28.40	3.5

MBC values are shown in mg/mL. The MBC values of potential extract fractions namely, PE: petroleum ether, BZ: benzene, CH: chloroform and ET: ethyl alcohol fractions of B. variegata leaf, were determined as described in Section 2.
