Control and 40 wt% SNAP-PEG catheters (4 cm lengths) were incubated at 37 °C in a CDC bioreactor for 3 d with E. coli or S. aureus. Viable bacteria counts of E. coli (A) and S. aureus (B) on control and SNAP-PEG catheters after as determined by plate counting. Viable bacteria counts on the filled lumen (filled with PEG control or 40 wt% SNAP-PEG) vs. the vascular access lumen of dual lumen catheters as determined with the swab extraction system and plate counting (C). Representative fluorescent micrographs comparing the bacteria on control and SNAP-PEG catheters after incubation at 37 °C in a CDC bioreactor containing E. coli or S. aureus, where bacterial LIVE/DEAD staining shows viable cells as green and dead or membrane damaged cells as red (D). Data represents the mean ± SEM (n=4). * p < 0.05, SNAP-PEG vs. Control.
