Table 2. Antimicrobial activity of developed formulations against E. coli biofilm .

Formulations Mean % Inhibition at 0.25X MIC Mean % Inhibition at 0.5X MIC Mean % Inhibition at 01X MIC Mean % Inhibition at 2X MIC
NE I P60+Cran NE 73.97 78.37* 82.46 92.62
Placebo 59.26 69.64 91.04 94.03
Aqueous Solution 37.37 60.78 80.88 82.95
NE II P60+Cur NE 56.82 76.50* 96.36* 97.28*
Placebo 46.34 68.80 85.69 97.03
Aqueous solution 43.36 48.51 50.13 59.62

Where MIC is the minimum inhibitory concentration; P60 is polyphenon 60; Cran is cranberry; Cur is curcumin; NE is nanoemulsion. * indicated high antibacterial activity of NEs as compared to the aqueous drug solutions. (1x concentration for P60 was 3.3 mg/mL and for Cran was 10 mg/mL and for Cur was 0.3 mg/mL).
