Fluorescent microscopy images of live/dead staining of S. aureus.

Notes: (A) Pristine PDMS, (B) p (DMAEMA⁺), (C) p (DMAEMA⁺-co-0.10 MPC), (D) p (DMAEMA⁺-co-0.25 MPC), and (E) p (DMAEMA⁺-co-0.50 MPC)-modified PDMS at 24 hours. The green color indicates live bacteria, and the red color indicates dead bacteria, under fluorescence microscopy (the magnification is 10×). (F) Adherence of the live/dead bacteria cell density on the surfaces.

Abbreviations: S. aureus, Staphylococcus aureus; PDMS, poly(dimethyl siloxane); p (DMAEMA⁺-co-MPC), (2-(dimethylamino)-ethyl methacrylate-co-2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine); MPC, 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine; DMAEMA, 2-(dimethylamino)-ethyl methacrylate.
