Evaluation of DVEO antimicrobial activity using the disc diffusion test.
| Microorganisms | Mean zone of inhibition (mm ± SD) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| DVEO (12 μL/disc) | Amoxicillin (10 μg/disc) | Fluconazole (10 μg/disc) | |
| Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 | 17.11 ± 1.11b | 19.23 ± 0.15a | NT |
| Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 | 22.05 ± 0.98b | 24.78 ± 0.21a | NT |
| Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 | 14.52 ± 0.08b | 16.15 ± 0.01a | NT |
| Salmonella enterica (clinical isolate) | 15.11 ± 0.75b | 17.22 ± 0.11a | NT |
| Candida tropicalis (clinical isolate) | 16.05 ± 0.5b | NT | 18.02 ± 0.05a |
Note: Data sharing the same letter within the same test indicate no significant difference, as determined by Tukey's multiple range test (p < 0.05).
Abbreviations: NT, not tested; SD, standard deviation.
