Figure 3. Surface colonization properties of A. baumannii strains.

Figure 3

Shown are images and corresponding quantified measures of solubilized crystal violet stained A. baumannii wildtype, ACJ7, and RNase T2 family complemented cells to polypropylene endotracheal tubes at 37°C (Panels A and B; n = 3/group), glass cover slips (25°C; Panels C and D; n = 3/group), and stainless steel disks (25°C; Panels E and F; and 37°C; Panels G and H; n = 5/group for these disks). Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between wildtype, ACJ7, and complement strain adherence as determined by two-way Analysis of Variance (p<0.05). Each data set is representative of at least two independent experiments.
