PP surfaces were dipped in normal saline (NS), 0.05% CHG, or 2 mg/mL vancomycin/160 μg/mL gentamicin (VG) antibiotic, and then incubated with 1 × 105 CFU/mL S. aureus 48 h. Recovered counts were expressed as CFU/mL (see timeline under graph). Average bacterial counts and 95% confidence intervals are plotted with n = 6 for each condition. Statistical significance was determined by Mann-Whitney U test and one-way ANOVA.
