Preparing LJ for DST Results: The phytochemical analysis collectively revealed the presence of tannins, saponins, flavonoids, antoand betacyanins, terpenoids, phenols and steroids. The M. tuberculosis strains exhibited resistance to all the four extracts at tested concentrations as there was substantial growth with typical creamy non-pigmented morphology on all the LJ media prepared with extracts though with varied rate compared to the control. However, there was no growth on the media with standard drug and the media with distilled water as expected. Conclusion: It can therefore be inferred from the result that aqueous and ethanolic extracts from the fruit skin and leaf of A. muricata at tested concentrations have no antimycobaterial activity.
