A Growth curves of planktonic S. aureus recorded for 12 h at 37 °C in a 96-well plate and nonlinearly fitted. B Optical densities of the planktonic cultures after 24 h. C Relative GFP intensity of the biofilms layer formed on the glass coverslip over time. D Viable S. aureus (CFU/mL) fraction of the 24 h mature biofilms before and after treatment for an additional 24 h with different concentrations of CXCL10 or the untreated control for 48 h. Values are presented as the means and standard deviations (SDs) of three independent experiments. Asterisks indicate significant differences as p values * ≤ 0.05, *** ≤ 0.001, **** ≤ 0.001.
