Table 2.

Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of phenolic compounds against the Gram-positive (S. pyogenes and S. aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli and K. pneumoniae). Each well contains ~10⁵ cfu. The results were obtained after incubation at 37°C for 24 h. NE represents no growth inhibition.
