Scanning electron micrographs of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms from subcutaneously implanted catheters in rabbits following treatment with a) nothing (control), b) ultrasound and a custom-made microbubble, c) vancomycin (antibiotic) alone, and d) vancomycin, ultrasound, and custom-made microbubble (original magnification × 2000). Ultrasound parameters were 0.3 MHz and 0.5 W/cm2 (or 0.12 MPa) with a 50% duty cycle for a total of 20 minutes (5 minutes twice a day) (reprinted (adapted) with permission from Dong et al. (2018)).
