Effect of Ag/Cu2O nanoparticles (0.002–0.73 mg/mL) against P. aeruginosa and C. albicans.
| Fabric control (CFU/mL) | (Ag (E. globulus)/Cu2O (chemical), post-synthesis-(growth inhibition) | (Ag (E. globulus)/Cu2O (M. dubia) post-synthesis-(growth inhibition) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| P. aeruginosa (ATCC Nº 9027) | *1.15 × 105 CFU/mL ± 0.06 | *0.00 ± 0 (100%) | *0.00 ± 0 (100%) |
| C. albicans (ATCC Nº 10231) | *1.05 × 105 CFU/mL ± 0.06 | *0.00 ± 0 (100%) | – |
*p < 0.001.
A one-way ANOVA was performed for independent data showing a significant difference between the treatments and the control group in the case of S. aeruginosa. A one-way Student's t-test was performed for independent data, resulting in a significant difference between treatments and the control group for C. albicans.
