Fig. 5From: Thymol-loaded PLGA nanoparticles: an efficient approach for acne treatmentA Bacterial viability reduction of (I) C. acnes 6 h contact with TH or TH-NP (dose dependent) at 0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg/mL, (II) S. epidermidis 48 h contact with THF or TH-NP at 1 mg/mL. Data is expressed as log10CFU of mean values, B SEM micrographs of C. acnes (I) control and treated for 1 h with (II) TH or (III) TH-NP.
