(A–D) Fluorescence imaging of P. aeruginosa biofilm attachment on control PTFE (A, B) and SLIPS (C, D) surfaces after 24 h (A, C) and 7 d (B, D) growths in 10 mL/ min flow. Scale bar = 30 μm. (E) Indistinguishable growth curves [n = 3] of P. aeruginosa cultured in shaken TB media containing 1% of the SLIPS liquids FC70, Krytox 100, Krytox 103, and perfluorodecalin at 3, 6, 9, and 30 h suggests no toxicity and biocompatibility of the lubricant, while silver nitrate, bleach, and glutaraldehyde exhibited massive toxicity within these timeframes.
