Table 2.
Zones of inhibition were measured with amikacin-loaded chitosan sponges (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and vancomycin-loaded chitosan sponges (Staphylococcus aureus)
Sample type | 24-hour ZOI (mm) | 48-hour ZOI (mm) |
---|---|---|
P. aeruginosa control | 2–3 mm (one corner only) | 0 mm |
Amikacin (1) | 30–34 mm | 22–24 mm |
Amikacin (2) | 32–34 mm | 22–24 mm |
S. aureus control | 1–2 mm (one corner only) | 0 mm |
Vancomycin (1) | 30–32 mm | 18–20 mm |
Vancomycin (2) | 30–32 mm | 14–20 mm |
ZOI = zone of inhibition.
