1
The bactericidal effect was determined by standard colony forming units method.
2
The bactericidal effect of hydrostatic pressure is reduced when bacteria are suspended in media with high osmolarity.
3
Because the bactericidal effect is time dependent, there can be a risk of insufficient antibiotic effect throughout the day.
4
Dactimicin (ST 900) shows good antibacterial activity and a strong bactericidal effect at MIC concentrations in all strains tested.
5
A time- and dose-dependent bactericidal effect in cell viability was highlighted against both bacteria, demonstrating a strong antimicrobial potential of ZNGs.
6
Importantly, the bactericidal effect of nitrofurans on dormant bacilli was 35- to 250-fold higher compared with metronidazole.
7
This, combined with a chemical bactericidal effect of 20-30%, shows that the nanostructured bD surfaces supported significantly fewer viable E. coli than flat surfaces.
