The antimicrobial effects of different concentrations of the compounds were determined using the BF chip method described in the Materials and Methods. The results of independent replicated examinations were evaluated: “−”: 0/6 cases, “−/+”:2/6 cases, “+/−”:4/6 cases, “+”: 6/6 cases. N size = 6; number of experimental replicates = 2.
