Comparison of antibacterial activity of plant extracts on monoculture (A) and mixed culture (B) food industry isolates in planktonic mode. Data was analyzed in SPSS (Version 13.0) using one way ANOVA followed by post hoc Turkey test. Bars having no common superscript are significantly different at p<0.05.
