HDPs reduce biofilm attachment. Surface attachment of P. aeruginosa was allowed for 4 h at 37 °C as start of biofilm formation, in wells containing 0–20 μM cCATH1, 2 and 3, LL-37, CRAMP or IDR1018. Bars represent biofilm mass as determined by CV, while symbols and lines indicate the number of viable bacteria in the biofilm. Shown are averages of at least 3 independent experiments ± s.e.m. *Indicates statistical significance compared to the non-peptide control.
