  1. -ve control indicates medium only while +ve control indicate the antibiotics which were Nystatin and Streptomysin sulfate: 100 μg. Comparison antibiotic: °Nystatin, °°Streptomysin sulfate. The symbol (−) indicate that no inhibition was detected. Each value is the mean ± SD of three replicates. Values with different small letters in the same column are significantly different at the level of 0.05 (P < 0.05)
