Minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration.
| Microorganism | MIC (µg/ml) | µM | MBC (µg/ml) | µM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pseudomanas aeruginosa (ATCC27853) | 15–7.5 | 0.6–0.3 | 30–15 | 1.2–0.6 |
| Penicillium expansum | 7.5–3.7 | 0.3–0.15 | 30–15 | 1.2–0.6 |
MIC reports the minimum inhibitory concentration that is required to achieve 100% inhibition of microbial growth; MBC refers to the minimum inhibitory concentration that inhibits microbial growth after 96 h.
