Table 1. Flow cytometry results of live and dead bacteria in the biofilms.
BHI | RPMI 1640 | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Live | Dead | Live | Dead | |
M. haemolytica (D153) | 71.9 ± 3.3 | 27.2 ± 3.3 | 80.7 ± 1.5 | 19.0 ± 1.5 |
S. aureus (NB305) | 65.9 ± 1.8 | 34.1 ± 1.8 | 96.7 ± 1.2 | 3.3 ± 1.2 |
M. haemolytica (D153) and S. aureus Newbould 305 (NB305) were grown in BHI broth and RPMI 1640 in 96-well plates at 37°C for 48 h (NB305) to 72 h (D153). Bacteria in the biofilms were stained with Filmtracer™ LIVE/DEAD™ Biofilm Viability stains and the viability was determined by flow cytometry analysis. Mean percentages of live and dead bacteria with corresponding SD are shown.
