MIC, MBC, and MFC in mg·mL⁻¹ of sea salts obtained using the broth microdilution method.

Bacteria	Sample 1		Sample 2		Sample 3
	MIC (mg/ml)	MBC/MFC (mg/ml)	MIC (mg/ml)	MBC/MFC (mg/ml)	MIC (mg/ml)	MBC/MFC (mg/ml)
E. coli	25	50	25	50	12.5	50
S. aureus	12.5	50	25	50	25	50
S. mutans	50	>50	50	>50	50	>50
S. salivarius	50	>50	50	>50	50	>50
S. mitis	50	>50	50	>50	50	>50
L. acidophilus	12.5	50	50	>50	25	50
C. albicans	50	>50	50	>50	50	>50

All samples were tested three times in independent experiments. Results show the insignificant difference between samples. Urmia (sample 1), Qom (sample 2), and Jarquyeh (sample 3).
