Antibacterial Activity of Nanocomposites of Copper and Cellulose
Figure 3
Antibacterial activity of cellulose/Cu nanocomposites with variable Cu content against (a) S. aureus and (b) K. pneumoniae. The log CFU values were determined in the testing Broth after 24 h contact time and were compared to those of pure cellulose matrices as well as to the inoculated Broth alone. Horizontal dark line refers to the initial inoculum (log CFU at time 0).
