Ti-pVAN inhibits colonization and growth of S. aureus in vitro. (a) SEM of S. aureus adhered on unmodified Ti6Al4V and Ti-pVAN plates after 5-h incubation with 1.2×105 CFU/mL S. aureus in LB at 37 ºC on a shaking incubator (1 Hz). (b) Quantification of bioluminescent signal (n=3) after 7-h incubation of Xen29 S. aureus (2.3×106 CFU/mL) with unmodified Ti6Al4V vs. Ti-pVAN plates in LB at 37 ºC on a shaking incubator (1 Hz). No significant difference (p>0.05, Student’s t test). Insets: representative bioluminescent images acquired on IVIS.
