FIGURE 3.
Flow cytometric measurements for membrane integrity upon treatment with aPDT using SAPYR, SA-PN-05, or CHX. Bacterial cell populations gated on dot plot FSC vs. SSC showing the chosen region of interest (ROI) for (A) A. naeslundii, (B) S. mutans, and (C) E. coli. Summarized median percentages, 1st and 3rd quartiles of unstained (gray), SG-stained (turquoise), double stained (orange) as well as PI-stained bacterial cells (red) are shown for all experimental groups (A–C). Asterisk depict statistical difference (p ≤ 0.05) among UC L- and treated groups. L- represents dark groups; L+ represents irradiated groups. n = 6.
