A. Bactericidal effect of DAU, DMDM, SMG, NT and NP against MSSA tested in three concentrations (20 mM, 40 mM and 100 mM). Results expressed as a kill rate compared to the control group (1-(mean colonies count in control group/mean colonies count in tested group) *100[%]), 60- and 120-min incubation of the compound with bacteria solution (time of incubation in brackets). B. Bactericidal effect of DAU, DMDM, SMG, NT and NP against MRSA tested in three concentrations (20 mM, 40 mM and 100 mM). Results expressed as a kill rate compared to the control group (1-(mean colonies count in control group/mean colonies count in tested group) *100[%]), 60 min incubation of the compound with bacteria solution. C. Bactericidal effect of DAU, DMDM, SMG, NT and NP against VRE tested in three concentrations of each FAR (20 mM, 40 mM and 100 mM). Results expressed as a kill rate compared to the control group (1-(mean colonies count in control group/mean colonies count in tested group) *100[%]), 60- and 120-min incubation of the compound with bacteria solution (seeding density 104/2). D. Bactericidal effect of DAU, DMDM, SMG, NT and NP against Pseudomonas aeruginosa tested in three concentrations (20 mM, 40 mM and 100 mM). Results expressed as a kill rate compared to the control group (1-(mean colonies count in control group/mean colonies count in tested group) *100[%]), 60 min incubation of the compound with bacteria solution. E. Bactericidal effect of DAU, DMDM, SMG, NT and NP against Candida albicans (seeding density 104/2) tested in three concentrations (20 mM, 40 mM and 100 mM). Results expressed as a kill rate compared to the control group (1-(mean colonies count in control group/mean colonies count in tested group) *100[%]), the comparison of 60- and 120-min incubation of the compound with bacteria solution
