Populational susceptibility to biocides of different pathogens:
To analyze the overall susceptibility to the studied biocides, the MICs and MBCs (MFCs in the case of Candida) of several independent isolates were established. The name of the studied biocide is displayed in each panel. In all cases the upper graph shows the MICs distributions and the lower one the MBCs distributions. TRI, CHX and BZC, concentration as expressed in mg/L. For Nalco concentration is expressed as g/L of active chlorine.

Populational susceptibility to triclosan of different pathogens:
To analyze the overall susceptibility to triclosan, the MICs and MBCs (MFCs in the case of Candida) of several independent isolates were established. Blue bars MICs, green bars MBCs/MFCs. ECOFFs are shown with arrows of the corresponding colour.
Figure 3.
Populational susceptibility to chlorhexidine of different pathogens:
To analyze the overall susceptibility to chlorehexidine, the MICs and MBCs (MFCs in the case of Candida) of several independent isolates were established. Blue bars MICs, green bars MBCs/MFCs. ECOFFs are shown with arrows of the corresponding colour.
Figure 4.
Populational susceptibility to benzalkonium chloride of different pathogens:
To analyze the overall susceptibility to benzalkonium chloride, the MICs and MBCs (MFCs in the case of Candida) of several independent isolates were established. Blue bars MICs, green bars MBCs/MFCs. ECOFFs are shown with arrows of the corresponding colour.

Populational susceptibility to hypochloride of different pathogens:
To analyze the overall susceptibility to hypochloride, the MICs and MBCs (MFCs in the case of Candida) of several independent isolates were established. Blue bars MICs, green bars MBCs/MFCs. ECOFFs are shown with arrows of the corresponding colour. Concentration of NaOCl is expressed as active chlorine.
