What does MIC stand for?

Purified cPA (>99%) yielded typical minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 10-20 microg/ml against gram-positive bacteria.

The three most active oils were selected to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) against the same Salmonella.

Assessment of the minimal inhibitory concentration of essential oils by means of modified ADM The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of the bacterial strains under study were determined by the agar dilution method (ADM) as envisaged by CLSI Protocol M7A6, but with some modifications: a final concentration of 0.

Looking at the antimicrobial effects it gets obvious that the minimal inhibitory concentrations for the potentially active compounds are in a range higher than 0.

c) Minimal inhibitory concentrations as ([micro]g/ml).

The mean time that salivary concentrations of miconazole were above the minimal inhibitory concentration level needed to treat the infection was 7 hours for the tablet compared with 1.
