The antibiofilm potential of AgNPs prepared using extracts from L. indica (LI), A. scholaris (AS), and A. multifolium (AM) on S. aureus (A–C) and E. coli (D–F) cells after exposure 24 and 48 h. The effect was calculated relative to the control without nanoparticles (0%); calculations also considered the intrinsic density of nanoparticles adsorbed on the surface of the plate wells. A boxplot reflects the cumulative effect of all concentrations of one type of particle in an experiment. LB medium, incubation at 37 °C, staining with crystal violet. All measurements were performed in no less than five replicates. For further details, see the chapter Materials and Methods.
