|---|---|---|---|
| S. epidermidis | 0 | 1.0 ± 0.1 | 1.0 ± 0.1 |
| 8 | 26.7 ± 0.5 | 7.1 ± 0.1 | |
| 24 | 23.7 ± 6.3 | 12.1 ± 5.3 | |
| C. acnes | 0 | 1.0 ± 0.1 | 1.0 ± 0.2 |
| 8 | 11.7 ± 1.0 | 0.3 ± 0.1 | |
| 24 | 0.3 ± 0.5 | 0.7 ± 0.0 | |
| S. aureus | 0 | 1.0 ± 0.2 | 1.0 ± 0.2 |
| 8 | 262.9 ± 11.5 | 9.4 ± 1.8 | |
| 24 | 141.5 ± 30.1 | 4.3 ± 1.3 |
Spread plate colony count, expressed as fold-change compared to the bacterial load of the initial inoculum, following exposure of S. epidermidis, C. acnes or S. aureus to selective and minimal medium for 8 and 24 h, in absence of scFOS. Results are expressed as mean ± SD.
