Table 1

Assessment of the antibacterial activity of the extractions of Ag/PLLA membranes.

Bacteria	Average width of bacteria inhibition clear zone (mm)
	PLLA	5% Ag/PLLA
Before
Escherichia coli	0	5.0±0.1^∗
Staphylococcus aureus	0	5.0±0.1^∗
After
Escherichia coli	0	1.2±0.1^∗
Staphylococcus aureus	0	1.5±0.1^∗

^∗The mean values were shown for means ± SD. 𝑃<.05 versus PLLA membranes.
