Article Title: In Vitro Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Activity of Origanum vulgare Essential Oil Against ESBL-Producing Strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae
doi: 10.3390/cimb48040373
Figure Lengend Snippet: Diagrams for the exploratory determination of the MIC of Origanum vulgare essential oil against: ( a ) E. coli 323; ( b ) E. coli ATCC 25922 control strain; ( c ) K. pneumoniae 132; ( d ) K. pneumoniae ATCC 700603 control strain. The central line represents the median, the box represents the interquartile range, and the individual points represent experimental replicates (n = 3). The vertical dashed line indicates the exploratory MIC, defined as the concentration associated with maximum inhibition.
Article Snippet: In the case of the control strain K. pneumoniae ATCC 700603, the observed MIC was 1 μg/mL, which is within the QC ranges established by CLSI [ ] (0.25–2 μg/mL).
Techniques: Control, Concentration Assay, Inhibition
