Table 3.
The Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs), the Minimum Bactericidal Concentrations (MBCs) and the Minimum Fungicidal Concentrations (MFCs) of the synthesized CS and the different nanoparticles capped by the CS (ZnNPs-C-CS, MnNPs-C-CS and SnNPs-C-CS). The results are represented as the mean of the concentrations (mM).
