Table 1

MIC, MFC, MBC, microbistatic, and microbicidal effects of peptide extract.

Organism (gram status)	MIC (mg/mL) extract	MBC (mg/mL) extract	MBC/MIC	Effect	MIC (μg/mL) gentamicin
Candida albicans (fungi)	1.25	>2.5	>2	STATIC	8.00
Staphylococcus aureus (+)	2.50	>2.5	>1	STATIC	12.50
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (−)	1.25	>2.5	>1	STATIC	6.25
Escherichia coli (−)	2.50	>2.5	>2	STATIC	12.50
Enterococcus faecalis (+)	2.50	>2.5	>2	STATIC	6.25

For C. albicans, MFC was determined. The ratio determined is MFC/MIC. Fluconazole was used for C. albicans.
