Confocal laser scanning microscopy images depicting viability of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms bacteria. (A) Untreated biofilm control, (B) biofilm treated with Eth, (C) EA extracts of propolis and (D) chitosan-propolis nanoparticles. Bacterial viability in control versus propolis extracts or chitosan-propolis nanoparticles treatments is represented as graph (E). (*p <0.05; **p <0.01 compared to control group). Abbreviations: Eth: ethanol; EA: ethyl acetate.</p
