The number of bacteria is indicated in the figure as Colony Forming Unit (CFU). a Histograms of E. coli live bacteria removal from human serum (n = 2). b Histograms of S. aureus removal from human serum (n = 2). SET-M33 OUTPUT graphs refer to devices containing SET-M33, while CONTROL OUTPUT graphs refer to the same devices without SET-M33. The INPUT histograms refer to sera containing bacteria before passage through the device. The increase in S. aureus in the control column is indicated as a percentage, but is not evident on the logarithmic scale. Columns represent group means.
