Effect of AgNPs/Hyb1 (Ag/Hyb1) and AgNPs/Hyb2 (Ag/Hyb2) on growth inhibition zones of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The effect of composites on inhibition zones at (a,b) a constant value of CAgNPs = 5⋅10–3 kg/m3 and a variable concentration of bacteria (from 1.5·104 to 1.5·107 CFU/cm3) and (c,d) a constant cell concentration of 1.5·104 CFU/cm3, but different concentrations of AgNPs. M ± m, n = 3; *, #—p < 0.05 as compared to control: Ccell = 1.5·104 CFU/cm3 (a,b) and CAgNPs = 1.25·10–3 kg/m3 (c,d) for S. aureus and E. coli, respectively.
