Table 1.
The zone of inhibition diameters of halicin discs, blank and drug-loaded fibers against E. coli (ATCC 22925), S. aureus (ATCC 29213), S. aureus (ATCC BAA 977), A. baumannii (BAA 747), and A. baumannii (MDR 3086). Both the drug-loaded fibers and halicin discs showed clear zones of inhibitions against all bacterial strains, while the blank fibers showed no effect against those bacteria. The results represent the mean (±SD) of n = 3.

| S. aureus (ATCC 29213) | 28 ± 1 | 0 | 21 ± 1 |
| S. aureus (ATCC BAA 977) | 29 ± 1 | 0 | 30 ± 2 |
| A. baumannii (BAA 747) | 25 ± 1 | 0 | 21 ± 2 |
| A. baumannii (MDR 3086) | 22 ± 1 | 0 | 18 ± 1 |
