- Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3). Significant activity = more than 70% growth inhibition; Good activity = 60–70% growth inhibition; Moderate activity = 50–60% growth inhibition; non-significant below 50% growth inhibition. Symbol (−) represents not done, MIC50 (Minimum inhibitory concentration resulting in 50% growth inhibition in µg/ml)
- +++Indicated significant (p < 0.0001) difference of antibacterial activity of MG against B. subtilis and E. coli in comparison to S. aureus. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test
