Figure 6. Effect of MomL on dual-species biofilms.

Figure 6

Total number of CFU/biofilm, number of P. aeruginosa PAO1 CFU/biofilm and number of A. baumannii LMG 10531 CFU/biofilm in each dual-species biofilm were determined by plating and shown as box-whisker plots. Boxes span the interquartile range; the line within each box denotes the median, and whiskers indicate the minimum and maximum values. (A). 24 h-biofilm treated with MomL alone; (B). 48 h-biofilm treated with MomL alone, TOB alone or a combination of both. Data shown are from three biological replicates with three (A) or two (B) technical replicates each (n = 9 for A, n = 6 for B). Mann–Whitney tests were performed to compare total, P. aeruginosa PAO1 and A. baumannii LMG 10531 cell numbers respectively between untreated or MomL-treated dual-species biofilm (*, P < 0.05).
