The diameter of the inhibition zone is greater than 15 mm as strong; 10–14 mm as medium; less than 10 mm as weak. Capital letters indicate significant differences between samples in the same row (p < 0.05). Lowercase letters indicate significant differences between samples in the same column (p < 0.05).
