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.
