Log10 reduction factors of A) S. epidermidis and B) P. aeruginosa incubated for 6 h on PHMB-coated Ti6Al4V specimens with different PHMB concentrations. The horizontal line illustrated the mean of counts (±SD) of living microorganisms on control specimens. C Crystal violet staining of bacteria after incubation on PHMB-coated test specimens. An adherence of bacteria was observed on the HP4 (S. epidermidis) and the NP5 (P. aeruginosa) surfaces
