Biofilm formation on BARD PICC and FILP PICC. (A, B) S. epi biofilm on BARD PICC. (C, D) S. aureus biofilm on BARD PICC. (E) S. epi single pathogen on FILP PICC. (F) S. aureus single pathogen on FILP. A comparison of quantified S. epi (G), S. aureus (H) biofilms in terms of viable cell count per cm (CFU/cm) of BARD PICC and FILP PICC. FILP PICC samples were isolated at various time points after exposing to physiological flow and the subsequent incubation with S. epi pathogen.
