Figure Lengend Snippet: Impact of CNF/ZnO nanohybrids on bacterial viability assessed using Live/Dead staining assays. S. aureus cells were exposed to CNF/ZnO nanohybrids (50–400 µg/mL) at 37 °C for 2 h ( A ) and 5 h ( B ). Data are expressed as the percentage of dead cells, calculated from the ratio of EthD-III fluorescence intensity (dead cells) to DMAO fluorescence intensity (total cells) (mean ± SD, n = 3). Statistical significance of differences between a-CNF/ZnO and c-CNF/ZnO hybrids (Student’s paired two-tailed t -test) is indicated as * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001, and **** p < 0.0001; absence of annotation indicates no significance ( p > 0.05).
