|
S. aureus (gram-positive bacterial strain) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Sample # | Sample names | ZOI (mm) |
| 1. | Polysaccharide (TSP) | 8 ± 1 |
| 2. | Copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) | 10 ± 1 |
| 3. | Composite | 21 ± 2 |
| 4 | Standard | 20 ± 2 |
| E. coli (gram-negative bacterial strain) | ||
| 1. | Polysaccharide (TSP) | 10 ± 2 |
| 2. | Copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) | 13 ± 1 |
| 3. | Composite | 27 ± 2 |
| 4. | Standard | 23 ± 1 |
In this table ZOI = zone of inhibition, standard = ciprofloxacin, mm = millimeter.
