Cellular viability of MSSA biofilms vs time for exposures of neat CAGE (yellow), 0.1% CAGE (purple) and 10% bleach (green). Data is presented as calculated mean cellular viabilities ± standard deviation. A) Percent cellular viability for exposures on 24 hr biofilms, B) Percent cellular viability for exposures on 72 hr biofilms, C) Mean cellular viability vs exposure time for 24 hr biofilms, D) Mean cellular viability vs exposure time for 72 hr biofilms. Errors in a) and b) represent the standard error of the mean for n = 6, and statistical significance for all conditions compared to untreated controls were calculated via the Student’s t-test (* p<0.05, **p<0.01). Calculated means for data points in parts a and b vs time are presented in a logarithmic bar plot in parts c and d for the convenience of the reader. The lowest value on the y-axis of plots a and b represent the limit of detection of the implemented assay.
