Functionalized silicone elastomers with AgNPs inhibit the formation of dual-species C. albicans/MRSA biofilms: visualization using opto-digital microscopy. 2D Images of Inhibition of a mixed biofilm by functionalized elastomers with AgNPs (0.53 ppm) (a) Functionalized elastomer inhibits the growth of the mixed biofilm. (b) Non-treated (functionalized) elastomer without biofilm growth as negative control showing the rugged surface of the elastomer (1). (c) Mixed biofilm growth on non-functionalized elastomer showing true hyphae (2), MRSA (3), yeast cells (4), and EPS (5).
