Figure 8
Localisation of P. aeruginosa within the outer layer of superabsorbent dressings at day 3. Superabsorbent wound dressings were inoculated daily with 1 * 107 CFU/ml of either Pseudomonas aeruginosa daily, over 7 days in triplicate. On 1, 3 and 7 days of inoculation, the outer membrane of each dressing was removed and fixed in glutaraldehyde, before being critical point dried, painted with conductive silver and sputter coated. Representative images of the outer membrane for dressings inoculated for 3 days with P. aeruginosa, are shown. Figure produced in Microsoft PowerPoint 365.
