Test pathogens | Zone of inhibition (mm) | Standard (mm) |
---|---|---|
MRSA | 18.33 ± 0.33a | 24.00 ± 0.00b (G) |
Staphylococcus epidermidis | 14.66 ± 0.33c | 24.66 ± 0.33b (G) |
Salmonella typhi | 15.33 ± 0.33bc | 26.33 ± 0.00a (G) |
Pseudomonas aeruginosa | 16.33 ± 0.66abc | 24.66 ± 0.33b (G) |
Escherichia coli | 17.66 ± 0.33ab | 26.00 ± 0.00a (G) |
Candida albicans | 14.00 ± 0.57c | 19.66 ± 0.33c (N) |
Microsporum canis | 14.33 ± 0.66c | 19.00 ± 0.00c (N) |
Note: Values represent the diameter of the zone of inhibition. Data are means from three replicates ± SE and those with the same superscript letters in the appropriate columns are significantly different (ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD at p < 0.05).
G = Gentamicin (100 μg/disc), N = Nystatin (100 μg/disc).
