In different concentrations of extract, antifungal of the genus Candida were determined, and antibacterial activities on Escherichia, Salmonella, Enterococcus, Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus. Antibiosis activity was observed only for C. guilliermondii with 9-2 mm, for P. aeruginosa with 12-3 mm and for E. faecalis between 10-3 mm at the highest concentrations between 50-500 mg mL-1.
