Effects of Fine Particulate Matter on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Adhesion and Biofilm Formation In Vitro

Figure 6

Bacterial surface hydrophobicity and S100A4 protein concentration after treatment of fine particulate matter (FPM). (a) P. aeruginosa surface hydrophobicity increased linearly with an increase in FPM concentration. (b) Concentration of S100A4 protein in cell culture supernatant increased with an increase of FPM concentration in a dose-dependent manner.
