Composite Hydrogel of Poly(acrylamide) and Starch as Potential System for Controlled Release of Amoxicillin and Inhibition of Bacterial Growth

<div>Growth inhibition effect of the PAAm/starch hydrogels against (a) <i>E. coli</i> ATCC 25922, (b) <i>S. aureus</i> ATCC 25923, and (c) carbapenemase producer, and amikacin-resistant, <i>P. aeruginosa</i>, after incubating at 37°C for 24 h. A: hydrogel without drug (negative control); B: hydrogel loaded with 600 <i>μ</i>g amoxicillin; C: loaded with 1200 <i>μ</i>g amoxicillin; AN: amikacin (30 <i>μ</i>g); AMC: amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (20/10 <i>μ</i>g); IMP: imipenem (10 <i>μ</i>g).</div>
