Effect of AgNPs on L. monocytogenes growth (A) and survival (B).Solid lines – control; dashed lines – 0.25 MIC AgNPs; dotted lines – 0.5 MIC AgNPs. Mean ± SD values of triplicate cultures were shown.

Influence of AgNPs on lysozyme- or Triton X-100-induced autolysis/lysis of L. monocytogenes.White bar – control, buffer only; dark grey bar – lysozyme or Triton X-100; light grey bar – lysozyme or Triton X-100 + 0.25 MIC AgNPs; black bar – lysozyme or Triton X-100 + 0.5 MIC AgNPs. The results are mean of three independent experiments with every measurement done in triplicate ± SD. Statistically relevant differences (p < 0.05) were marked with asterisks.

Autolysis of isolated L. monocytogenes peptidoglycan in the presence of AgNPs.Absorbance A600 at time 0 was considered as 100%. Solid line – control; dashed line – 0.25 MIC AgNPs; dotted line – 0.5 MIC AgNPs. The results are mean of three independent experiments with every measurement done in triplicate ± SD. Statistically relevant difference (p < 0.05) was marked with an asterisk.

Effect of AgNPs influence on the efflux of DNA and proteins from L. monocytogenes.White bars – control, no AgNPs added; dark grey bars – 0.25 MIC AgNPs; light grey bars – 0.5 MIC AgNPs; black bars – 100 μg/ml lysozyme (positive control). The results are mean of three independent experiments with every measurement done in triplicate ± SD. Statistically relevant difference (p < 0.05) were marked with asterisks.
