Table 1 S. aureus biofilm formation is more enhanced when plasma is part of the growth medium, compared to coating plates with plasma prior to biofilm formation

From: Human plasma enhances the expression of Staphylococcal microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules promoting biofilm formation and increases antimicrobial tolerance In Vitro

  1. *96-well plates were coated with plasma for 24 hours, washed then biofilm was formed.
  2. ‡Plasma coated compared to plasma in the growth medium. P-values generated via One-way ANOVA with a Dunnett’s post hoc test.
