S. epidermidis susceptibility to hydrogen peroxide was determined using 0, 0.5, 1, 5, 10 or 25 mM H2O2 in each group: aerobiosis (black bar), microaerobiosis (gray bar) or anaerobiosis (white bar). After 30 min of incubation with H2O2, the samples were diluted 1:1000, 10 µL were taken and plated in LB plus 2% glucose-agar. CFU/mL were counted. Samples without treatment were assigned as 100% viable cells. The average of three experiments is shown with SD. Significance *P < 0.0001Back to article page
