Antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) confined to mesostructured silica against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

The antibacterial activity of MS-Ag powders against MRSA was verified by the disk diffusion method and time-killing curves. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the MS-Ag powders against MRSA were between 2.5 mg/mL and 5 mg/mL.
