Survival of Galleria mellonella larvae after inoculation with AgNP or tobramycin. Larvae (n = 20) were inoculated with 10 or 20 μL of specific AgNP (6.8 and 3.4 μg/mL), or tobramycin (4 μg/mL) and incubated for 96 h at 37 °C. Control larvae were injected with H20 (vehicle), or PBS (to show injection-associated trauma). Larvae were monitored every 24 h for survival until 96 h. Table of survival rates correlates with data points in graph. Results are the average of three biological replicates. From Pompilio et al. Frontiers in Microbiology 2018, 9:1349 [163].
