The ability of PSAR-10 and PSAR-20 brushes to resist attachment of bacteria over 24 h. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was seeded at 3×107 CFU/mL and Escherichia coli was seeded at 6×108 CFU/mL. Staphylococcus epidermidis was seeded at 4×107 CFU/mL. The PSAR-20 chain density was 0.87 nm−2, and the PSAR-10 chain density was 0.95 nm−2. Seeding of S. epidermidis was not performed on PSAR-10. Normalization is performed for data obtained for measurements of each specific bacterial strain. For a given strain, the seeding density is maintained between all sample conditions tested. The normalized data are specific to individual species and not between all 3 strains. The error bars indicate ±1 SD.
