Antimicrobial Inhibition Zone Data for Tested Compounds

A 5.5 KB dataset contains measurements of anti-microbial activity for tested compounds against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. Inhibition zones are recorded as mean ± standard deviation in millimeters from three replicates (n=3). The data was published by author Saad Alghamdi on the figshare platform and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare mean inhibition zone sizes across Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and C. albicans to assess compound spectrum.
• Analyze the standard deviation (SD) values from n=3 replicates to evaluate measurement consistency for each compound.
• Rank tested compounds by their inhibition zone (mm) against a specific microorganism like Staphylococcus aureus.

Strengths

• Data includes quantitative mean and standard deviation measurements for precision.
• Activity is tested against three distinct microbial targets: a Gram-positive bacterium, a Gram-negative bacterium, and a fungus.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating a limited number of tested compounds.
• The exact number of compounds (rows) and measured features (columns) is unknown.
• Data is based on only three replicates (n=3) per measurement, limiting statistical power.
