Table 4 Colony detection from surviving biofilm-dispersed cells of MDRAB (R1) after treatments with CST and TGC, either alone or in combination.

  1. Numeric data are shown as the number of colonies detected on the LB agar plates (n = 6) obtained from six independent experiments. **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05, no treatment versus treatment with antibiotics; Fisher's exact test. ††P < 0.01; †P < 0.05, treatment with CST alone versus treatment with CST in combination with TGC; Fisher's exact test. ¶¶P < 0.01; P < 0.05, treatment with TGC alone versus treatment with TGC in combination with CST; Fisher's exact test. Red color indicates colonies were detected in all six experiments, orange and light orange color mean colonies were detected in five and four out of six experiments, yellow color means colonies were detected in three out of six experiments, light green and green color mean colonies were detected in two and one of six experiments, blue color means no colonies were detected in any experiment.
