Values are the coefficient of correlation between the MIC and the MBC for each antimicrobial. SH—sodium hypochlorite; BC—benzalkonium chloride—PAA, peracetic acid; AMP—ampicillin; KF—cephalothin; FOX—cefoxitin; E—erythromycin; C—chloramphenicol; CN—gentamicin; TE—tetracycline; VA—vancomycin; FOS—fosfomycin. ***—p < 0.001; **—p < 0.01.
