Effects of Ti6Al4V5Cu on the membrane leakage of proteins and reducing sugars. (A) Leakage of proteins from S.aureus treated with Ti6Al4V5Cu using BCA assay. The leakage amount of proteins was increased obviously after 12 h co-culturing (p < 0.01). (B) Leakage of reducing sugars from S.aureus co-cultured with Ti6Al4V5Cu. The highest amount of leakage was reached on 24 h, at a level of 97±8.02 % more than the blank control group (p < 0.01). All data represent the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. *: compared to the blank control group, #: compared to the Ti6Al4V group. One symbol, p < 0.05; Two symbols, p < 0.01.
