Our results show that chitosan films possess antimicrobial
activity that depends on the concentration of the
applied films. In this study, 1% chitosan films exhibited
greater antimicrobial activity compared to 0.5% chitosan
films. The present results indicate that films with higher
concentrations of chitosan have more pronounced antimicrobial
activity, consistent with previously published data
(27). However, it can be seen that 2% chitosan films exhibit
less inhibition of bacterial species than 1% chitosan
films. This behavior can be explained by the extremely
