staphylococcus aureus	25.66* ± 0.57	16.00* ± 0.00
streptococcus	23.33* ± 1.15	36.66* ± 2.22
Pseudomonas aeruginosa	19.66* ± 0.57	12.66* ± 0.57
Klebsiella pneumonia	19.33* ± 0.57	13.66* ± 1.52
Proteus mirabilis	20.33* ± 0.57	16.33* ± 1.52

^@ASLAN^Ⓡ(A solution leading antiseptics naturally^Ⓡ). All comparisons were carried out with the standard method of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) 2011. In the control group, in which distilled water was used, the growth-inhibition- zone diameter was 8 mm for all pathogens. (Student's t-test;^* P< 0.05; N = 3.).
