(a) Bacterial attachment assay procedure; (b–f) Intensity maps of F measured for each bacterial strain on the first-generation array after 72-h incubation; Pseudomonas aeruginosa (b), Staphylococcus aureus (c), Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) (d), UPEC grown in artificial urine (e) and UPEC grown on an artificial urine-conditioned slide (f). (g) Intensity map of the bacterial performance obtained for each material in the array, given as a percentage of the maximum bacterial numbers for all strains under all culture conditions. The major monomers are listed on the y-axis whereas the composition of the minor monomers is shown on the x-axis. The large shaded area within each outlined area indicates the mean value, and the mean ± 1 s.d. unit is presented in the narrow columns to the right (plus) and left (minus) of the mean, n = 3. Key to right. A square-root scale is applied to the intensity indicators. (h) The average normalised fluorescent intensity for all materials containing a specific monomer, ranked from lowest to highest. The major and minor monomers were considered separately. The colour next to each monomer is indicative of that monomer’s mean ι and is coloured by the same intensity scale as in g [49].
