Article Title: Biophysical properties and phenotypes of cell clusters detached from Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms after matrix-targeted disruption
doi: 10.64898/2026.01.28.701379
Figure Lengend Snippet: Relative abundance of S. epidermidis biofilm detached cells after matrix-targeted biofilm disruption across different growth conditions and strains. Relative abundance of biofilm detached cells, where the concentration or absorbance (OD 600 ) of cells detached from biofilms after treatment is normalized to the untreated condition, for: (A) S. epidermidis RP62A biofilms grown in flow at a shear stress of 0.1 Pa or statically in a 96-well plate, and (B) eight S. epidermidis strains: RP62A, 1457, P2, P6, P12, P18, P37 and P47 grown in a 96-well plate. Statistical significance is determined by two-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s T3 multiple comparison tests (*P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01, ***P ≤ 0.001, ****P ≤ 0.0001).
Article Snippet: S. epidermidis RP62A (ATCC 35984), a PIA-dependent biofilm forming strain was used as the primary model organism.
