Table 1.

Diversity parameters after 28 days administration of 110 nm PVP-AgNP or AgOAc^a

Group^b	Shannon diversity index	Inverse Simpson index	Shannon evenness score	Chao1 (richness)
110 nm AgNP-	3.73 +/−	19.77 +/− 4.40	0.72 +/−	258.39 +/− 32.91
sterile water	3.67 +/−	17.93 +/− 2.93	0.72 +/−	241.92 +/− 51.23
silver acetate	3.65 +/−	21.14 +/− 3.55	0.72 +/−	226.71 +/− 14.82

No significant differences between groups for any parameter (ANOVA, p=0.396)

n=6 per group for AgNP and water, 5 per group for silver acetate
