HWE: hot water extract; MIC: minimum inhibitory concentrations; MBC/MFC: minimum bactericidal/fungicidal concentrations; +ve: positive control. Values are mean ± SD of three replicates. Values marked by different superscript letters within a column are statistically significantly different at p ≤ 0.05. Values marked by different superscript letters within a row are statistically significantly different at p ≤ 0.05.
