Figure 8

Cell membrane structural damage and cell membrane integrity results; (A) cell membrane structural damage after treatment with 0.2 μg/mL CNE (×39,000 times); (B) cell membrane structural damage after treatment with 0.2 μg/mL CHX (×39,000 times); (C) cell membrane structural damage after treatment with 0.2 μg/mL CNE (×93,000 times); (D) cell membrane structural damage after treatment with 0.2 μg/mL CHX (×93,000 times); (E) leaking DNA concentration of Streptococcus mutans treated CNE; (F) leaking protein concentration of S. mutans treated CNE.

Notes: Cell membrane structural damage was remarked with red and arrowed circle. 700610 means S. mutans control. **P<0.01 represents a significant difference; *P<0.05 represents a difference.

Abbreviations: CNE, chlorhexidine acetate; CHX, chlorhexidine acetate water solution; BNE, blank nanoemulsion.
