1 MIC: Minimal inhibitory concentration expressed in % of EO and HY treatments; 2 MBC: Minimal bactericidal concentration expressed in % of EO and HY treatments; 3 IZ: growth inhibition zone by disc diffusion assay expressed in mm; 4 VIZ: growth inhibition zone by vapor phase test expressed in mm; na: not attained—not detected; Values are expressed as means ± SD. p < 0.05 from one-way analysis of variance test (ANOVA).
