Effectiveness of Aqueous Extract of Marine Baitworm Marphysa moribidii Idris, Hutchings and Arshad, 2014 (Annelida, Polychaeta), on Acute Wound Healing Using Sprague Dawley Rats

Table 2

The value of MIC, MBC, and MIC to MBC ratio of Marphysa moribidii aqueous extract against five selected bacteria. MIC value for Escherichia coli was 0.4 g/ml, but probably higher than 0.4 g/ml for Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumonia.
