Bactericidal activity of 55 mM NCT, NVC-612, and 27.5 mM NVC-422 against S. aureus and E. coli in the presence of 10% (▽), 25% (△), 50% (□), 75% (○), and 100% (●) whole blood at 37°C. ■, control without oxidant in 100% blood. Values are means ± SEMs of three independent experiments each; detection limit, 100 CFU/ml. *, threshold values for P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01 versus control without test substances. One-way ANOVA and Dunnett's multiple-comparison test.
