| Microorganism | Antimicrobial assays | Anti-adhesive assays | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 mg/ml | 25 mg/ml | 4 mg/ml | 25 mg/ml | |
| B. cereus | − | − | 22.53 ± 0.20 | 70.50 ± 0.38 |
| E. coli | + | ++ | 4.00 ± 0.62 | 44.25 ± 0.18 |
| E. aerogenes | ++ | ++ | 5.22 ± 0.43 | 29.87 ± 0.25 |
| P. aeruginosa | − | ++ | 17.12 ± 0.10 | 61.84 ± 0.27 |
| S. typhimurium | − | + | 12.88 ± 0.26 | 58.69 ± 0.10 |
| S. aureus | − | − | 8.59 ± 0.17 | 53.18 ± 0.33 |
“ + ” sign shows inhibition of microbial growth, whereas “−” sign means an inability to inhibit the growth of the examined microorganisms. Values of anti-adhesive assays are representatives of mean ± S.D. (n = 3).
