exhibited specific antimicrobial activities, both concerning the spectrum of antimicrobial activity and the corresponding MIC values, which ranged widely between 1024 and 32 mug/mL, depending on the nature and position of the substituents on the benzene ring. The most active compounds were N-[2-(4-chlorophenoxymethyl)-benzoyl]-N'-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-thiourea (5 g) and N-[2-(4-chlorophenoxymethyl)-benz
