Effect and localisation of SCPPPQ1 on other oral bacteria. (a,c,e,g) SEM micrographs and (b,d,f,h) Super-resolution fluorescence images of (a,b) A. actinomycetemcomitans, (c,d) F. nucleatum, (e,f) P. intermedia and (g,h) T. denticola from the negative control (left) and + SCPPPQ1 treated (right) samples at 20 min. Bacterial nucleic acids were labeled with SYTO 9 (green fluorescence) and SCPPPQ1 with Alexa Fluor-546 secondary antibody (red fluorescence). Images are representative from three different experiments.
