Decrease of Bacteroides fragilis biofilm formation induced by metronidazole (filled squares), LL-37 peptide (filled triangles), CSA-13 (filled circles) and CSA-131 (filled diamonds) (panel a) and MNPs functionalized by these compounds: MNP@MET (empty squares), MNP@LL-37 (empty triangles), MNP@CSA-13 (empty circles), MNP@CSA-131 (empty diamonds) and unfunctionalized MNPs (empty inverted triangles) (panel b). Error bars represent standard deviations from three measurements. *indicates statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05) activity of tested agents compared to metronidazole (panel a) and uncoated MNPs (panel b)
