Table 2 Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the tested oils

From: Potential anti-acne loaded nanogel formulations of Origanum majorana L. and Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. essential oils

	Sage	Rosemary	Myrrh	Marjoram	Geranium	Chrysanthemum
MIC (% v/v)	0.25 ± 0.08^b	0.218 ± 0.09^b	0.218 ± 0.09^b	0.156 ± 0.03^a	*	0.125 ± 0.00^a
MBC (% v/v)	20 ± 4.00^b	16 ± 0.00^b	20 ± 4.00^b	1.781 ± 0.80^a	*	1.65 ± 0.88^a

Different superscripts letters for a given value are significantly different from each other (One way ANOVA, Tukey’s post-test, P < 0.05)
^* No antibacterial activity was detected against the tested organism
