Table 1. Microbial reduction (%) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Candida albicans (CA) after 0 h of incubation (immediate elution) and after 24 h with zinc nanocomposite textiles (The zinc nanocomposite textiles were washed once as part of the manufacturing process to remove loose particles; microbial reduction in terms of log reductions are provided for some of the samples in brackets).
