Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes or Hydrogen Peroxide Enhance Biofilm Development of Mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Figure 10

Effect of PMNs on G6PDH activity. G6PDH: glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase; Control: P. aeruginosa FRD1 biofilm grown for 24 hours or 48 hours without PMNs; PMN: P. aeruginosa FRD1 biofilm treated with PMNs for 24 hours or 48 hours. The activity of G6PDH did not differ significantly between the two groups. Data are presented as the mean ± SD ( in each treatment).
