  1. The data in the table are the mean values of the diameter of the circle of inhibition in three parallel tests, “ -” is no antagonism; “+” is weak antagonism, the diameter of the circle of inhibition is ≤ 15 mm; “++” is medium antagonism, 15 mm < diameter of the circle of inhibition is ≤ 18 mm; “+++” is strong antagonism, 18 mm < diameter of the circle of inhibition is ≤ 20 mm; “++++” is strong antagonism, 20 mm < diameter of the circle of inhibition is ≤ 22 mm; “+++++” is the strongest antagonism, the diameter of the circle of inhibition is > 22 mm.
