Figure 3 Antibacterial effect of the Titanium-copper-nitride coating on Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria for planktonic and biofilm state after 2 d.
On TiCuN, planktonic and biofilm bound bacteria were killed completely. On TiCuN + BONIT®, no antibacterial effect could be observed (n = 6, mean value ± SD, U-test, bP < 0.01). TPS: Titanium plasma spray; TiCuN: Titanium-copper-nitride.
