Comparison of the effectiveness of physico-chemical stresses against S. epidermidis biofilm and planktonic cells. The log reduction of CFU/mL of pairs of S. epidermidis biofilm (a) and planktonic (b) cultures subjected to 60 °C, 1.72 M NaCl, a solution containing 150 μL of waterguard in 1 L of water and 1.77 M H2O2 for 30 and 60 min. Error bars represent SEM. Statistical significance was determined using repeated measures ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc (***, p < 0.0001)
