Fig. 7. Adhesion of S. aureus 8325-4 and of DU 5875 to vWF adsorbed PMMA under defined flow conditions. / PMMA slides were preincubated with vWF (50 μg/mL), mounted on a flow chamber, and perfused with S. aureus cells (5 × 107 CFU) (shear rate, 110/s). Adherent microorganisms visualized by light microscopy were determined over indicated time periods using automated image analysis. Shown are mean values of 10 fields ± SD. ▪, S. aureus 8325-4; ●, DU 5875.
