Antibacterial Properties of Titanate Nanofiber Thin Films Formed on a Titanium Plate

Table 3

Evaluation of the antibacterial activity against MRSA of sodium titanate nanofiber thin films synthesized following different reaction times.

Reaction time	Sample	Average of viable MRSA count just after the inoculation; (CFU/sample)	Average of viable MRSA count after 24 h; (CFU/sample)	𝑅; (antibacterial activity value)
1	Sodium titanate Nanofiber thin film	2.8×10^5	4.3×10^7	1.2
	Blank sample		6.5×10^8
5	Sodium titanate Nanofiber thin film	2.6×10^5	3.9×10^8	0.3
	Blank sample		7.9×10^8
12	Sodium titanate Nanofiber thin film	2.6×10^5	6.5×10^5	3.1
	Blank sample		7.9×10^8
20	Sodium titanate Nanofiber thin film	2.1×10^5	2.1×10^2	6.5
	Blank sample		6.0×10^8
