The microscopic analysis doesn＇t allow a differential identification of the species. The results of aromatogram by the incorporation method of Muller-Hinton on solid medium, showed a significant antimicrobial activity （method Duraffourd,1987） of the extracts, infusion, and the active substances towards bacterial strains, essentially those recognized as antibiotic resistant （Staphylococcus, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Citrobacter）; the results obtained indicate that the most efficient antibacterial activity was obtained with the pod infusion, the seed extract and the flavonoids. The raw extract has an important antifungal activity on Candida albicans. This could open opportunities for using this species in the treatment of urinary, respiratory, intestinals and cutaneous infections, and as a disinfecting additive on nosocomial area.展开更多
