Mean zone of inhibition (ZOI) ± standard deviation (SD) produced in a disc diffusion assay. ZOIs were measured as the smallest diameter of inhibited growth, and measurements included disc diameter (6 mm). Results from biological replicates (n = 4 for S. pneumoniae, n = 5 for D. pigrum) were averaged.
