To investigate the biofilm-reductive effects of peptides and ciprofloxacin, the biofilm of DRPa-4009 cells was formed on the plastic coverslips for 48 h. After treatments of peptides (64 µM) and ciprofloxacin (256 µM) for 24 h, the coverslips were washed with SP buffer and stained with FilmTracer SYPRO Ruby biofilm matrix stain (Thermo Fisher Scientific Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Samples were analyzed by CLSM (A1R HD 25, Nikon, Japan) [30 (link),31 (link)].
