Figure Lengend Snippet: Heatmap representation of BIP% and MIP% at a final test concentration of 0.0675 mg/mL of single extracts or mixture with amoxicillin (for bacteria) or miconazole (for yeasts). Values represent the Bacterial/Fungal Inhibition Percentage (BIP%/MIP%) produced by the hemp seed extracts ( A ) and mixtures of hemp seed extracts with amoxicillin (for bacteria) or miconazole (for yeasts) ( B )—HSLCE, HSLUAE, HSSCE, HSSUAE, HSLVCE, and HSLVUAE—at a final test concentration of 0.0675 mg/mL. Rows correspond to inhibition against each microbial strain ( S. pyogenes , S. aureus , L. monocytogenes , B. cereus , C. perfringens , S. flexneri , P. aeruginosa , E. coli , S. typhimurium , H. influenzae , C. parapsilosis , C. albicans ). Colour intensity reflects inhibitory strength (blue = low/negative inhibition; red = strong inhibition), allowing comparison with extract-only activity and visualisation of additive/synergistic/antagonistic trends.
Article Snippet: And the Gram-negative strains taken into the study were: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), Shigella flexneri (ATCC 12022), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 14028), Haemophilus influenzae type B (ATCC 10211), and two fungal strains Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) and Candida parapsilopsis (ATCC 22019).
