Results of bioluminescence measurement converted to CFU/mL: (a) after inoculation with 10 μL E. coli Lux culture. (b) After inoculation with 5 μL E. coli Lux culture on test materials at the indicated time points and sites: (i) above, (ii) bottom, and (iii) cross section. PU-glue: cured and placed on agar plates; Control: sterile filter paper placed on agar plates; PU-glue (P): cured and placed on a petri dish; Control (P): sterile filter paper placed on a petri dish, PU-glue (Pd) liquid (uncured) on a petri dish. Dotted line indicates the detection limit. , .
