Fig. 2

CLSM images of calcein red–orange-stained MRSA on discs. The bacterial growths from the following groups are shown: Ti, HA, and Ag-HA negative controls; Ti VCM, HA VCM, and Ag-HA VCM at 48 h; and Ti VCM, HA VCM, and Ag-HA VCM at 96 h. Scale bars for x and y-axes: 10 µm; scale bar for z-axis: 5 µm. The staining intensities of the biofilms are in the following order: Ag-HA VCM at 96 h < Ag-HA VCM at 48 h < Ti VCM at 48 h < Ti VCM at 96 h < HA VCM at 48 h < HA VCM at 96 h
