Table 2. Inhibition of Colonization on DAP–Ti6Al4V Surfacea.
time | 2 h | 4 h | 8 h | 24 h |
---|---|---|---|---|
control Ti6Al4V | 2.14 ± 0.58 | 7.55 ± 2.81 | 61.80 ± 37.64 | 90.34 ± 31.60 |
DAP-Ti6Al4V | 5.06 ± 1.33 | 5.38 ± 1.09 | 17.49 ± 20.04 | 41.20 ± 22.27 |
Colonies from all three independent batches were stained with a live/dead BacLight kit. Live green fluorescent bacterial colonies on the surface of the Ti6Al4V foils were imaged on a CK40 fluorescence microscope and counted using Image Pro Plus 4.5.
