Table 2.

The yield of Robinia pseudoacacia flower and leaf extracts (dry extract mass obtained by the initial mass; mg/g) in different solvents; cytotoxicity (LC50; mg/mL) against Vero African green monkey kidney cells; minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC; mg/mL); total antimicrobial activity (TAA; yield/MIC) after 24 h of incubation (mL/g); selectivity indices (SI; LC50/MIC); gentamicin was used as a positive control against test bacteria and amphotericin-B against test fungi.
