aTested samples [DBB: methanol extract from the bulbils of D. bulbifera; bafoudiosbulbins A (1), B (2), C (3), F (4), G (5), 2,7-dihydroxy-4-methoxyphenanthrene (6); EtOAc fraction (DBB1) and EtOAc sub-fraction C (DBB2); RA : reference antibiotics were chloramphenicol for bacteria, ciprofloxacin for M. smegmatis, isoniazid for M.tuberculosis; (−): MIC > 512 μg/mL; bThe drugs and compounds were tested in the absence or in the presence (values in braket) of PAßN at a final concentration of 20 μg/mL, as described previously [7]. At this concentration, no intrinsic effect against the various bacterial strains (included as internal controls in each assay without antibiotic) was observed.
