Figure Lengend Snippet: Anti-biofilm activity of F. aegyptia chloroformic sample (Fa CH), Z. spinosa chloroformic sample (Zs CH), F. aegyptia ethanolic sample (Fa ET), Z. spinosa ethanolic sample (Zs ET), F. aegyptia water sample (Fa W), and Z. spinosa water sample (Zs W), against (A) Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, (B) Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115, and (C) Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212. The letters (a -p) on the bars present important differences (p < 0.05).

Article Snippet: The ethanolic extracts of Z. spinosa and F. aegyptia also displayed notable antibacterial activity against S. aureus ATCC 25923 and L. monocytogenes ATCC 19115, with MIC values of 625 μg/mL and 1,250 μg/mL, respectively.

Article Snippet: 4 , [ ] , To determine bioactive compounds of agarwood ( A. malaccensis ) ethanol extract and its antibacterial and antifungal activities against bacteria ( Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228, S. aureus ATCC 25923, and Propionibacterium acnes ATCC 6919)/fungi ( C. albicans ATCC 10231 and Trichophyton sp. ATCC 18748) species that commonly cause skin infection. , Ethanol extracts of agarwood leaves. Disc diffusion method (Kirby–Bauer test). Antifungal activity. , The maximum inhibitory zone toward S. epidermis and P. acnes was at 20% concentration. The inhibitory zone of C. albicans was classified as intermediate, at 20% concentration. Trichopyiton sp. was classified as resistant at all concentrations used. S. aureus was classified as susceptible at 5% concentration and intermediate at 2.5% concentration. Agarwood leaf ethanol extracts produced nine biologically active compounds. , The ethanol extract from A. malaccensis exhibited antibacterial and antifungal activities. The chemical compounds were flavonoids, tannins, and triterpenoids..
