Distribution of size of inhibition zones (mm) obtained by diffusion in depth with AgNPs (citrate, chitosan and PVA) and controls against multidrug-resistant (MDR) (n = 54) and antimicrobial-susceptible bacteria (n = 36). Asterisk Only inhibition zones >6 mm were presented. All silver compounds showed absence of inhibition zones (<6 mm) when tested in MHA 5 % blood against the same microorganisms
