Table s1: Diameters of inhibition zone of different extracts of S. rhombifolia Linn. This table contents the diameters of inhibition zone of different extracts: MeOH,; water/MeOH (1v:4v); water/MeOH (1v:1v); water/MeOH (3v:2v); Gent: Gentamycin. All the extracts are tested at 500 μg/dic and 133 μg/disc for gentamicin.
