Figure Lengend Snippet: Visual representation of the data distribution for antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of the tested compounds against genetically distinct groups of P. aeruginosa strains. Distribution of growth inhibition zones values (mm). (A,B) Distribution of Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) (%, v/v). (C,D) Distribution of biofilm cells reduction (%). (E,F) The horizontal lines indicate a median value, the spots indicate a mean value, the error lines indicate a standard deviation, and the boxes indicate the interquartile range. TEO, Thyme Essential Oil; PHMB, polyhexanide C+, growth control.
