Comparison of time-kill curves for one oxacillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and one oxacillin-suscpetible S. aureus (MSSA) isolate, using AgNPs particles (citrate, chitosan and PVA) and controls (silver sulfadiazine, silver nitrate and commercial AgNPs). For MRSA was made the comparison using MHB II broth and MHB II blood 1.25 %. MHB II- Mueller–Hinton Broth cation adjusted and microorganism; MHB II CTL-control without microorganisms. MHB II SGE-microorganism and broth enriched with blood; MHB II CTL SGE-only broth and blood. For oxacilin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA3), silver sulfadiazine and silver nitrate curves were not done due to high MICs (Ag Sulfad and Ag Nitrate: MIC ≥27 μg mL−1; MBC ≥27 μg mL−1)
