Repurposing Napabucasin as an Antimicrobial Agent against Oral Streptococcal Biofilms
Figure 2
The antimicrobial effects of NAP against oral streptococcal multispecies biofilms. (a) Representative image of multispecies biofilms treated with NAP. Bacteria stained green; extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) stained red. (b) The volume of EPS and bacteria within the biofilms; (c) the ratio of EPS/bacteria within the biofilms; (d) representative image of dead/live bacteria within the multispecies biofilms after treatment; live bacteria stained green; dead bacteria stained red; (e) quantitative ratio of dead and live bacteria after treatment. Data are presented as (SD). .
