Antibacterial properties of P:P and P:P:Bs grafts. (A) Evaluation of the vascular grafts for Antibacterial Activity Using a Disc Diffusion Assay. Plate counting of the amount of viable (CFU mL⁻¹) (B) S. aureus and (C) P. aeruginosa incubated with P:P and P:P:BS grafts. The data was gathered on days 0, 3, and 24 of incubation. (D) Agar plates after 24 ​h incubation of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa with P:P and P:P:Bs grafts. Data presented as mean ​± ​SD, n ​= ​3, all statistical significance shown in comparison to control group unless otherwise stated, ∗p ​< ​0.05, ∗∗p ​< ​0.01, ∗∗∗p ​< ​0.001.
