Antimicrobial Activity

The extracts were tested against the Gram-negative bacteria *Staphylococcus aureus* (ATCC 11632), *Staphylococcus epidermidis* (clinical isolate Ibis 2999), *Staphylococcus lugdunensis* (clinical isolate Ibis 2996), *Micrococcus flavus*(ATCC 10240), and *Listeria monocytogenes*(NCTC 7973), and the Gram-positive bacteria *Escherichia coli* (ATCC 25922), *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* (ATCC 27853), and *Salmonella* Typhimurium (ATCC 13311), as described by Sokovi´c et al. [30]. The fungi *Aspergillus flavus* (ATCC 9643), *Aspergillus niger* (ATCC 6275), *Penicillium funiculosum* (ATCC 36839), *Candida albicans* (clinical isolate Ibis 475/15), *Trichophyton mentagrophytes*(clinical isolate Ibis 2979/18), *Trichophyton tonsurans*(clinical isolate Ibis16/17), *Microsporum gypseum* (clinical isolate Ibis 3277/18), and *Microsporum canis* (clinical isolate Ibis 2990/18) were tested as described by Sokovi´c and van Griensven [31]. The microorganisms were obtained from the Mycological laboratory, Department of Plant Physiology, Institute for Biological Research "Sinisa Stankovi´c," University of Belgrade, Serbia. Streptomycin and ketoconazole were the positive controls

used for the antibacterial and antifungal activities, respectively. The results were given as minimum inhibitory (MIC) and minimum bactericidal (MBC) or fungicidal (MFC) concentrations (mg/mL).
