Representative images of the inhibition zones after 24 h of incubation at 37°C by the (A) CHX and (B) allicin-CHX solutions utilized to soak the PP meshes. (C) Sterile saline used as control did not provoke bacterial growth inhibition. (D) Mean diameter of the inhibition zones (mm). The results are expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean for 5 samples. The allicin-CHX solution provoked significantly wider inhibition halos than the CHX treatment. #: saline vs CHX and allicin-CHX (p<0.001); ф: CHX vs saline and allicin-CHX (p<0.001).
