Growth Media Affect Assessment of Antimicrobial Activity of Plant-Derived Polyphenols

Figure 2

Effect of bovine serum albumin on the antimicrobial activity of EGCG against S. mutans UA159. A dose-dependent increase in the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of EGCG was observed with the addition of BSA to the assay mixtures. MIC values were averages of three independent tests.
