Anti-S. pyogenes activity of cNDs and free chitosan on S. pyogenes. S. pyogenes (104 CFUs/mL) were incubated alone or with OSS (10% v/v), free MW or LW chitosan (0.139% m/v) solution, MW or LW cOFND suspensions (10% v/v), and MW or LW cOLND suspensions (10% v/v) in sterile conditions at 37°C and their growth was monitored for 4, 6, and 24 h. At each incubation time, the samples were spread on TSA agar medium to determine the CFUs/mL. Results are shown as means ± SEM from three independent experiments and expressed as Log CFUs/mL. Data were evaluated for significance by ANOVA. vs controls: a p<0.0001; b p<0.001.
