From: Modeling microbial survival in buildup biofilm for complex medical devices
Traditional biofilm (TBF): impact of Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide on microbial survival. P. aeruginosa (a), E. faecalis (b), and C. albicans (c), were used to form TBF in high nutrient medium (ATS) or low nutrient medium (tap water). Sample pegs carrying TBF on their surface were removed after varying time periods and the bioburden determined after no treatment (positive control) or after drying followed by treatment with 7% Accelerated hydrogen peroxide (AHP) for 20 minutes. TBF untreated (blue bar), TBF treated with AHP (red bar).
