Antibacterial Properties of Silver-Loaded Plasma Polymer Coatings
Figure 3
Amount of planktonic bacteria after 2 hours of culture in the surroundings of the following samples: HA film (“HA”), loaded with SNPs (“HA + SNPs”), and recovered by a second HA layer of 6 nm (“6 nm”), 12 nm (“12 nm”), and 18 nm (“18 nm”) of thickness. Values were obtained by summing planktonic bacteria amount measured in the initial supernatants and the corresponding 4 rinsing solutions. § symbol indicates significant difference compared to HA ().
