Values represent mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. MIC: Minimum inhibitory concentration; MBC: Minimum bactericidal concentration; MBAE: Aqueous extract of Mezoneuron benthamianum; MBHE: Hydro-ethanolic extract of Mezoneuron benthamianum. MIC and MBC were determined only for the active extracts of M. benthamianum. An MBC/MIC ratio ≤4 indicates bactericidal activity, whereas a ratio >4 indicates bacteriostatic activity.
