Comparison of the XTT and qRT-PCR assays in assessing biomass reduction in mature biofilms. Biofilms were seeded at 105 cells per 30 mm2 of well surface area and were incubated for 48 h. Prior to assessment, biofilms were either left intact (0), or were mechanically reduced by 25%, 33% or 50%, followed by the XTT assay (A) or qRT-PCR assay (B). Error bars represent SD of triplicate experiments. Student t-test p values are shown on the graph for each set of comparisons.
