Gram-positive bacterial strains, including
Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923), Methicillin resistance
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), were obtained from Almery University Hospital (Alexandria, Egypt). Gram-negative bacteria strains, including
Klebsiella pneumonia were obtained from Al-Azhar University Mycology Center (Cairo, Egypt).
Streptococcus mutants (NCTC10449),
Bacillus subtilis (NCTC 10400),
Vibro cholera (NCTC 8021),
Salmonella typhi (ATCC 19430), and
Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) were purchased from ATCC. All bacterial strains were inoculated in 20 mL of nutrient broth medium and incubated at 37 °C and 120 rpm overnight. Then, bacterial growth was measured at 600 nm using a microtiter plate reader (BIO-RAD, USA) and adjusted for the agar-well diffusion assay.
