Figure 6.

Plots of (A) fluorescence versus time and (B) biofilm formation versus time, normalized to controls, for the (A) S. aureus GFP reporter strain and (B) wild-type S. aureus incubated with peptide-loaded coatings during extended challenge-and-hold experiments (see text). Black bars show results for experiments using peptide-loaded films; white bars show results for control experiments using nonpeptide-loaded films. All experiments were performed in replicates of four; # indicates lack of significance (p > 0.05).
