Qualitative assessment of antiseptic property against adherent bacteria by CLSM fluorescence.

Notes: (A) For Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, biofilm formation illustrated by live/dead staining results on the five samples in TSB medium with or without GSH antioxidant; (B) for Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa, biofilm formation illustrated by live/dead staining results on the five samples in TSB medium with or without GSH antioxidant. Magnification ×200.
