Antimicrobial activity of L. europaeus B infusion against clinical Staphylococcus aureus strains, expressed as minimal inhibitory concentration and minimal bactericidal concentration versus number of inhibited and killed strains, respectively.
| MIC [mg/mL] |
Number of Strains (%) | MRSA (n) |
MSSA (n) |
MBC [mg/mL] | Number of Strains (%) | MRSA (n) |
MSSA (n) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.25 | 10 (36%) | 8 | 2 | 1.25 | 9 (32%) | 7 | 2 |
| 2.5 | 18 (64%) | 6 | 12 | 2.5 | 18 (64%) | 7 | 11 |
| 5 | - | - | - | 5 | 1 (4%) | - | 1 |
MIC—minimal inhibitory concentration; MBC—minimal bactericidal concentration; n—number of strains; MRSA—methicillin-resistant S. aureus; MSSA—methicillin-susceptible S. aureus.
