Inhibitory effect of differently sized AgNPs on biofilm formation of opportunistic pathogenic yeasts. Inhibitory effect of AgNPs on the formation of biofilms was evaluated by determining the viability of the various Candida and Lodderomyces cells in the biofilm using XTT assay after 72-h treatments with AgNP-I, AgNP-II or AgNP-III in the indicated concentrations. Suspensions without AgNPs were used as growth control. The values represent the mean ± standard deviation calculated from three independent experiments (*, p ≤ 0.05, **, p ≤ 0.01, ***, p ≤ 0.001, ****, p ≤ 0.0001, unpaired t test)
