(-): MIC not detected at up to 1024 μg/ml for the les extracts and 256 μg/ml for CHL. (): values in parenthesis are MIC of substance in the presence of PAßN at 30 μg/ml. The MIC of PAßN was 64 μg/ml on E. coli, AG100A, 512 μg/ml on ATCC11296, BM67, EA27, EA289; 1024 μg/ml on AG100ATET, ATCC13048, CM64; and > 1024 μg/ml on other bacteria. CHL: chloramphénicol
