Estimated minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of BCMs-[Au(cdc)2]− and BCMs with respect to S. aureus Newman and C. glabrata CBS138. Results are the means of two independent experiments performed with two replicates. MIC values were estimated considering the total amounts of BCMs-[Au(cdc)2]− (Total) or the amounts of [Au(cdc)2]− encapsulated in BCMs ([Au(cdc)2]− Amount).
| MIC (µg/mL) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BCMs-[Au(cdc)2]− | BCMs | Free [Au(cdc)2]− | ||
| Total | [Au(cdc)2]− Amount | |||
| S. aureus Newman | 498.9 ± 142.9 | 18.7 ± 5.4 | >1250 | 15.3 ± 1.3 * |
| C. glabrata CBS138 | 490.5 ± 241.8 | 18.9 ± 8.4 | >1250 | 7.0 ± 0.8 * |
