Figure 2. Both MSSA and MRSA biofilms demonstrate decreased sensitivity across all clinically used antibiotics.

Figure 2.

MSSA and MRSA biofilms both show less antibiotic sensitivity with mature biofilm MICs (MBICs) significantly higher (p<0.001 ****, p<0.005*** p<0.01 **) than planktonic MIC in between every antibiotic tested using a Mann-Whitney Test (A-B). Matched analysis of S. aureus planktonic and biofilm MICs confirms a statistically significant increase (p<0.01 **) in MBIC compared to MIC in every clinical and laboratory strain tested using a Wilcoxon Test (C-D).
