Contact time dependence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa adhesion to glass—variable-push and pull experiments. (A) Adhesive force. (B) Adhesive pressure. (C) Adhesive efficiency. Means and trends of data are shown from six independent experiments per early biofilm sample and four independent experiments per mature biofilm sample. Each experiment consists of five sets of 10 replicate force plots, one set for each contact time setting, with loading force set at 10 nN and retraction velocity at 2 μm/s.
