Fig. 3From: A pre-therapeutic coating for medical devices that prevents the attachment of Candida albicans Filastatin inhibits attachment of C. albicans to bioactive glass. C. albicans was incubated in varying concentrations of Filastatin in 24 well plates containing bioactive glass coupons. a Direct cell counts were obtained by propidium iodide and Syto9® staining. Black bars represent the number of wild type cells (control) or non-adherent cells (edt1 −/−) that attach to untreated bioactive glass. Grey and white bars represent wild-type cells treated with varying concentrations of Filastatin. Standard error bars displayed, p < 0.0001. b Crystal violet staining to determine adhered cells to the surface of bioactive glass couponsBack to article page
