  1. (+): actives; (-) : not actives; S.aureus : Staphylococcus aureus; S.a.m.r : Staphylococcus aureus meticillin resistant; S. epidermidis : Staphylococcus epidermidis; E. faecalis: Enterococcus faecalis; P. aeruginosa: Pseudomonas aeruginosa
  2. These results indicated extracts which at 10 mg/ml inhibited (+) or do not inhibit (-) the growth of the microorganisms. Only active extracts at 10 mg/ml will be used for the determination of minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC)
