Fig. 5. The inhibition of the formation of biofilms of C. violaceum 12472, P. aeruginosa PAO1, and S. marcescens MTCC 97 using AgNPs-MK. Data are represented as average values and the error bars represent the SD. * indicates p ≤ 0.05 with respect to the control. The concentrations 1/16 × MIC, 1/8 × MIC, 1/4 × MIC, and 1/2 × MIC of AgNPs-MK against C. violaceum 12472 are 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 μg ml−1, respectively. The concentrations 1/16 × MIC, 1/8 × MIC, 1/4 × MIC, and 1/2 × MIC of AgNPs-MK against P. aeruginosa PAO1 and S. marcescens MTCC 97 are 1, 2, 4, and 8 μg ml−1, respectively.
