Effect of Surface Charge and Hydrophobicity Modulation on the Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Potential of Magnetic Iron Nanoparticles

<div>Quantification of bacterial cell number posttreatment with different concentrations of OA-MNPs and APTMS-MNPs in case of<i> S. aureus</i> (a) and<i> E. coli</i> (b), respectively. Data revealed a concentration dependent reduction in bacterial count. Values were expressed as mean percentage reduction in bacterial count ± standard deviation of three independent experiments.</div>
