The effect of the composites on the growth of MRSA bacterial cells. (A) MRSA growth inhibition (from one representative experiment) in the presence of 200 ppm [Cu], LK20-mer@[Cu], LK10-mer@[Cu], 4 μg/mL free LK 20-mer and without addition (control). (B) The calculated average and standard errors of 7 independent repeats of growth inhibition after 8 h and 24 h.
