Evaluation of antibacterial activity of alginate hydrogel/nZnO composite bandages.
Notes: (A) Antibacterial activity evaluation of alginate hydrogel/nZnO composite bandages against MRSA by disk diffusion method. (B) Membrane potential evaluation of composite bandages. Student’s t-test was performed and P-values <0.05 were considered significant. *Indicates significant difference compared the control.
Abbreviations: nZnO, zinc oxide nanoparticles; MRSA, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus; S. aureus, Staphylococcus aureus; E. coli, Escherichia coli.
