“…A zone of inhibition measuring more than 8 mm signifies that bacteria are susceptible to sample [ 30 ]. MMLE contains tannins, flavonoids, and polyphenols, exhibiting potential antibacterial activities [ 26 , 31 , 32 ]. Polyphenols have toxicity towards microbial enzymes, while structural features of flavonoids may help gain entry into the bacterial cell, which eventually leads to multiple component inactivation [ 11 ].…”
