Fig. 5. Quantitative bacterial adhesion, antimicrobial and release studies on PSBEDOT and control surfaces. (A) Attachment of E. coli K12 from a suspension with 109 cells per mL on oxidized (Ox) PSBEDOT, reduced (Red) PSBEDOT and control surfaces; (B) bactericidal activity results of PSBEDOT and the control surface against E. coli K12 after subjection to 0.6 V for 1 hour; and (C) detachment of E. coli K12 from oxidized PSBEDOT and gold after subjection to 0 V for 1 hour.
