Effect of Hyb1 and Hyb2 matrices and AgNPs/Hyb1 (Ag/Hyb1) and AgNPs/Hyb2 (Ag/Hyb2) composites on bacterial growth inhibition. Upper panel: inhibition zones and their dependence on CAgNPs (5·10–3 kg/m3 –1; 2.5·10–3 kg/m3 –2; 1.25·10–3 kg/m3 –3) for S. aureus; bottom panel: inhibition zones at CAgNPs 5·10–3 kg/m3 for P. aeruginosa and S. marcescens.
