Table 5.

Antimicrobial activities of C. esculentus extracts against some organisms.

Organisms	Zone of Inhibition (mm)
Organisms	Aqueous	Butanol	Dichloromethane
Staphylococcus aureus	09^a ± 0.9	15^a ± 0.6	20^c ± 0.6
Pseudomonas aeruginosa	13^c ±0.8	22^c ±0.7	27^d ± 0.8
Candida albicans	11^b ± 0.7	16^a ±0.6	22^b ± 0.5
Aspergillus flavus	14^d ± 0.6	19^b ± 0.6	25^c ±0.6

Values are the mean of triplicates. ± = Standard deviation. Different alphabets indicated values that significantly differ (p < 0.05) from every treatment by Duncan's multiple range test. Butanol and dichloromethane as controls did not divulge antimicrobial properties.
