Antimicrobial activity of Ag_xO coatings (A,B) Zone of inhibition assay. Images of LB plates seeded with (A) Staphylococcus aureus or (B) Escherichia coli. The Ag_xO disc (labeled AgO on the plates) exhibited a zone of inhibition (ZOI) of (A) 9 mm for S. aureus; (B) 10 mm for E. coli. The diameter of the disc in each case is 6.5 mm (1/4”). No ZOIs were evident for Ag-coated or Ti control discs; (C) Overnight growth of S. aureus and E. coli in modified minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) experiment. Gray bars represent cultures exposed to Ag_xO-coated discs while black bars represent cultures exposed to uncoated Ti discs. Data are averages of at least three samples.
