Study of potencies of drugs incorporated in agarose bioplastic, as determined through agar diffusion assay. Agar diffusion assays were performed on control films without any antibacterial drugs (A), and on films loaded with ampicillin (B), kanamycin (C), tetracycline (D), dettol (E) and savlon (F). The films loaded with drugs had a distinct zone of inhibition around them where bacterial growth was impeded, whereas the control films did not hamper the growth of bacteria. The sizes of the zones of inhibition for the drugs are also depicted (G). The experiment was just indicative to show potency of drug hence done only once.
