Figure 10

SEM images showing a very few scattered enterococcal cells adhered on the catheter surface treated with (a) ½ MIC ginger AgNPs and (c) ½ MIC chemical AgNP, and a reduction in the number of the adherent enterococcal cells on catheters treated with (b) ¼ MIC ginger AgNPs and (d) ¼ MIC chemical AgNPs compared to (e) positive control catheter that showed a heavy accumulation of enterococcal cells on the surface of the catheters. (f) Catheter free from bacterial cells (negative control).
