Figures & Tables

Fig. 1

The surface area of brand new catheters with visible grooves (a) AFM image, scan area – 10 ×10 μm, colour scale 500 nm. (b) SEM image, horizontal side of the image – 8.3 μm

Fig. 2

An AFM image (a) and SEM images (b, c) of the catheter surface – Staphylococcus spp. covered with biofilm. The scales are shown in the pictures

Fig. 3

SEM images of the catheter: (a) formation of biofilm by connecting bacteria using exopolysaccharide skeleton (b) Staphylococcus spp. colonies covered with biofilm

Fig. 4

SEM images of the catheter: (a) Typical colonies of bacteria from the Staphylococcus group. (b) No biofilm was detected at high magnification

Fig. 5

An SEM image of the catheter. Bacteria can be seen in the morphology of Bacillus spp

Fig. 6

An SEM image of the catheter: Morganella morganii, Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus epidermidis in a catheter tip culture, biofilm

Fig. 7

An SEM image of the catheter: Staphylococcus haemoliticus in a catheter tip culture, biofilm

Fig. 8

An SEM image of the catheter: Morganella morganii, Acinetobacter baumannii, Bacillus, Staphylococcus epidermidis in a catheter tip culture, biofilm
