Fig. 6. Overview of the influence of tested compounds after 2 h of contact time on physicochemical parameters of the bacterial surface.

Fig. 6

Figure shows (a) surface polarity, (b) Lewis acid, and (c) Lewis base of S. aureus (yellow) and C. acnes (orange) before and after compounds treatment. SLS: Sodium Laureth Sulfate ; CARR: Carrageenan ; GUAR: Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride ; SH: Sodium Hyaluronate ; RHM: Rhamnolipids ; VF: Vitreoscilla filiformis extract. Lewis acids/bases are expressed in arbitrary units related to the difference of adhesion percent to solvent couples, respectively, ethyl acetate/decane and chloroform/hexadecane. Hydrophobicity is expressed in mean percent of adhesion to decane and hexadecane.
