Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of hydrogels.
| Microorganisms | MIC (%) | MBC (%) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CCH | 100SH | 200SH | 400SH | CCH | 100SH | 200SH | 400SH | |
| Streptococcus mutans | N | 100 | 70 | 60 | N | 100 | 90 | 70 |
| Porphyromonas gingivalis | 100 | 80 | 70 | 50 | N | 100 | 100 | 80 |
| Fusobacterium nucleatum | N | 110 | 80 | 70 | N | N | 100 | 90 |
| Pseudomonas aeruginosa | 90 | 70 | 70 | 40 | 100 | 90 | 70 | 50 |
Data are expressed based on the percentage of initial concentration (40 mg/ml) of each drug (n = 3).
MIC: minimum inhibitory concentration, MBC: minimum bactericidal concentration, CCH: κ-carrageenan oligosaccharides linked cellulose nanofibers hydrogel, 100SH: 100 mg surfactin and Herbmedotcin loaded hydrogel, 200SH: 200 mg surfactin and Herbmedotcin loaded hydrogel, and 400SH: 400 mg surfactin and Herbmedotcin loaded hydrogel.
