Table 3

Mean area of microbial growth inhibition zones in mm (n = 3) provided by the sea salt samples.

Bacteria	MBC/MFC concentrations			CHX 0.2%
	Sample 1	Sample 2	Sample 3
E. coli	4	3	4	15
S. aureus	4	4.5	5	17
S. mutans	6	5	5	18
S. salivarius	5.5	6	4	17
S. mitis	5	6	4	17
L. acidophilus	4	5	4	16
C. albicans	5	5	4	16

The difference was significant between the samples and control (CHX 0.2%) (). Results show the insignificant difference between samples. Urmia (sample 1), Qom (sample 2), and Jarquyeh (sample 3).
