As assessed by the measurement of the diameter (mm) of the zone of inhibited growth of the indicator strain, inclusive of the 5 mm diameter of the well, where a positive result was indicated by a diameter of the zone of growth inhibition of ≥7 mm and a negative result was indicated by a diameter of inhibited growth of <7 mm.
