Fluorescent images of bacteria viability after 7 days of incubation (acridine orange and ethidium bromide fluorescence staining).

Notes: Live bacteria appear green and dead cells are red. A lot of bacteria were found at the Ti plate samples. TiNT samples’ surface had some dead bacteria. The surface of TiNT-Ag60s and Ag90s samples did not show any viable bacteria. Ag30s, 60s, or 90s refer to treatment with an Ag electroplating time of 30, 60, or 90 seconds, respectively.

Abbreviation: TiNT, TiO₂ nanotubes.
