Biofilm formed by living and dead cells of Haemophilus parainfluenzae SHpiNP18C strain. Expanations: Biofilm formed by living (a, b) and dead (c, d) cells of Haemophilus parainfluenzae SHpiNP18C and detected using two-dimensional (2d: a, c) or three-dimensional (3d: b, d) CLSM image with gray level values varying from 0 to 250 (b, d) after 24 h of incubation. The layer of living cells was located on or between the structures formed by dead cells. The living and dead cells forming biofilm were detected in the green and red canals, respectively, and the structure of the biofilm was shown in XZ plan on the basis of 3D scan
