The Visualization of Biofilms in Chronic Diabetic Foot Wounds Using Routine Diagnostic Microscopy Methods

Figure 1

Differential viable counts of selected bacterial groups from 26 chronic wound samples. The lower and upper boundaries of the boxes represent quartiles 1 and 3, respectively, and horizontal bars within the boxes represent median values. ○ represents minimum outliers and ● the maximum outliers. White bars represent samples from which pathogens [18] were not isolated and black bars samples from which pathogens were isolated.
