Antibacterial activity of calcium sulphate hemihydrate (CSH)/nanohydroxyapatite (nHAP) based nanocement (NC) and drug loaded NC (drug@NC). Liquid inoculation assay of drug loaded NC with increasing concentration of drugs by counting the colony forming units (CFU). (a) INH, (b) RFP & (c) RFP + INH. Resazurin assay showing enhanced antibacterial activity of drug loaded NC (drug@NC) by measuring percentage resazurin reduction. (d) INH, (e) RFP & (f) RFP + INH. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
