COMSTAT analysis of z stacks from 16-h- and 48-h-old biofilms of A. baumannii S1, S1Δpga, and S1Δpga-c on glass coverslips
| Strain | Time (h) | Biovolume (μm3/μm2)a | Avg thickness (μm)a | Maximum thickness (μm)a |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | 16 | 2.22 ± 0.38b | 6.08 ± 0.53b | 51 ± 2.20b |
| 48 | 3.24 ± 0.34b | 10.82 ± 1.76b | 52.4 ± 3.82b | |
| S1Δpga | 16 | 0.14 ± 0.01 | 0.11 ± 0.01 | 5.5 ± 0.71 |
| 48 | 1.47 ± 0.20 | 1.12 ± 0.14 | 4.6 ± 0.17 | |
| S1Δpga-c | 16 | 4.90 ± 0.49b | 10.74 ± 0.95b | 43.7 ± 3.44b |
| 48 | 2.88 ± 0.49b | 8.43 ± 1.63b | 39.37 ± 1.79b |
a
The values are means ± standard errors of the means.
b
Significantly greater (P < 0.001) than the corresponding value for the S1Δpga strain.
