Berberis Decoctum D2 – effects on bacterial growth after 0, 4, 8 and 24 hours on logarithmic scale. Control sample: distilled water (DW); test sample: Berberis Decoctum D2. Control sample and test sample were added in a ratio of 1:2 to the culture medium. Effects are visible for B. subtilis (ATCC 6633) (n = 1) and MSSA (ATCC 29213) (n = 3) after eight and after 24 hours. Effects can be considered as bactericidal. No relevant effects after 24 hours could be found for E. coli (n = 1) and P. aeruginosa (n = 1)
