Table 2. Minimum inhibitory concentration of 1,8-cineole against selected biofilm-producing E. coli strains.
Strain | 1,8-cineole MIC range (%, v/v) |
---|---|
Ec ATCC25922 | 0.5–1 |
Ec AM7 | >2a |
Ec AM10 | 1–2 |
Ec 07 | ≥2 |
MIC, minimum inhibitory concentration. Values from biological triplicate experiments are shown.
a A 14% growth inhibition was reached with 2% (v/v) of the phytochemical.
