Killing kinetics of Cytinus hypocystis and Cytinus ruber extracts (at concentrations ranging from 62.5 to 250 μg/ml) and penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose (abbreviated as 5-O-galloyl in the graphs, 125 μg/ml) against S. aureus ATCC 33591 (a) and S. epidermidis ATCC 35984 (b). Bacteria were incubated in sodium-phosphate buffer 10 mM, pH 7.4 supplemented with 2% LB in the presence of the antimicrobial compounds for 3 and 24 h. Control (CTRL) represents untreated bacteria. Dashed line represent 3 Logs reduction in CFU count as compared to inoculums. The numbers in the figure legend are the concentrations used expressed in μg/ml. Data are expressed as mean ± standard error of at least three independent experiments
