Fig. 1From: Forsythiaside inhibits bacterial adhesion on titanium alloy and attenuates Ti-induced activation of nuclear factor-κB signaling-mediated macrophage inflammationSpread-plate method to quantitatively characterize the number of viable bacteria adhered on the flat titanium with different concentration of forsythiaside at 6 and 24 h. a and b: Spread-plate method and quantitatively characterize the number of S’aureus. c and d: Spread-plate method and quantitatively characterize the number of MRSA.The asterisk denotes the significant differences in the comparison of Ti, Ti + low, and Ti + high (p < 0.05)Back to article page
