Fig. 2.14 Antibacterial activity in (a, b, and e) against S. aureus ATCC 6538 and (c and d) against
P. aeruginosa ATCC 9027 cultures after 24 h. (a) Paper disk loaded with 200 ʼ g of TSC (positive
control), (b) SCL without TSC (negative control), (c) TSC-loaded SCL obtained by the PP method
with stirring of 24 h and (d) TSC-loaded SCL obtained by the DP method. All the SCLs are
pHEMA-co- ʲ -CD with 10 % (w/v) of mono-MA- ʲ -CD. (b and d) The magnification of (a) and (c),
respectively. (e) Bacterial growth beneath the surface of (a) TSC-free and (b) TSC-loaded SCLs
