Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) obtained from broth microdilution assays for essential oils from the leaves of Porcelia macrocarpa (January 2011).
| Microorganism | Essential oil dosage (mg/mL) | Positive Control |
|---|---|---|
| Fluconazole (mg/mL) | ||
| C. neoformans (serotype A) | 0.50 (80 ± 18%) | 0.013 |
| C. neoformans (serotype D) | 0.06 (95 ± 8%) | 0.006 |
| C. gattii (serotype B) | 1.00 (98 ± 6%) | 0.025 |
| C. gattii (serotype C) | 1.00 (61 ± 1%) * | 0.006 |
Numbers in parenthesis represent the mean percentage inhibition at each MIC ± standard deviation. * 61% inhibition does not represent MIC80 in this case.
