Laser confocal microscopy of EPS matrix in the biofilm architecture. a Labeling of the biofilms in the ATCC29213 and MRSA strains in S. aureus 24-h biofilms. Green, total bacteria (SYTO 9); scale bars, 100 μm. b Quantitative data of bacterial biomass from the biofilms reconstruction (*p < 0.05, n = 10). c The values of adhesion force of S. aureus 24-h biofilms which were obtained from atomic force microscopy (AFM) experiments (*p < 0.05, n = 10)
