Antimicrobial Activity of Yerba Mate Extract Against Chicken Meat Bacteria

Experimental results from a study evaluating the antimicrobial effect of yerba mate extract against Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis isolated from chicken breast meat. The data likely contains measurements of inhibition zones from the disk diffusion method for three extract concentrations tested in triplicate. The study was conducted by Débora Euclydes Mariano Costa at Universidade de Brasília.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between extract concentration and inhibition zone size based on the described experimental results.
• Comparing the antimicrobial susceptibility of E. coli versus P. mirabilis to yerba mate extract as indicated in the description.
• Identifying the most efficient concentration for antimicrobial activity based on the estimated 400 mg/mL value mentioned in the abstract.

Strengths

• Experiments were conducted in triplicate, suggesting a measure of reliability.
• Specific extract concentrations (125, 250, 550 mg/mL) and a statistically significant result (P<0.0001) are reported.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
