Figure Lengend Snippet: The antimicrobial activity of the AgNPs-coated endotracheal tube was determined against pathogenic microorganisms after 24 h incubation. Charts show planktonic growth of reference strains ( A) and clinical isolates ( B ); and microbial adhesion of reference strains ( C ) and clinical isolates ( D ) to the endotracheal tube surface. The limit of detection was 100 CFU/mL. The values are means ± SD from three independent experiments performed in triplicate, p < 0.05

Techniques: Activity Assay, Incubation

Figure Lengend Snippet: Microorganisms were isolated from uncoated and AgNPs-coated endotracheal tubes collected from 47 mechanically ventilated dogs that underwent a variety of surgical interventions. Microorganisms isolated from different parts of endotracheal tubes ( A ) and total numbers of microorganisms from endotracheal tube surfaces ( B ) were counted on tryptic soy agar. Boxes are 25th to 75th percentiles. Solid lines within the boxes represent the 50th percentile. Capped bars represent 10th and 90th percentiles, p < 0.05
