The lineup included tough pathogens like E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and even antibiotic-resistant MRSA.<br>The results? The extract showed strong broad-spectrum antibacterial action across all 10 bugs, hitting E. coli and K. pneumoniae hardest. To uncover why, they analyzed a related ethyl acetate extract with GC-MS technology, spotting 58 compounds total.
