“—”: not tested because plant extracts did not show the inhibitory effect by agar-well diffusion method or not suitable to test (for reference drug); Cf: Citrobacter freundii; Ecl: Enterobacter cloacae; Ef: Enterococcus faecalis, Ec: Escherichia coli (25922); ESBL-EC: extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli; ESBL-KP:extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing-Klebsiella pneumoniae; IRPA: imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Sa: Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923); MRSA: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; Sal: Streptococcus agalactiae; Se: Salmonella enteritidis; Sp: Streptococcus pyogenes; MDR-ST: multidrug-resistant Salmonella typhi; Stm: Salmonella typhimurium; Vc: Vibrio cholerae. Gentamicin and vancomycin were used as reference drugs for Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria, respectively. a and b = Reference drugs used for the Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, respectively. |
