Standard curves for determination of live/dead ratio. Standard curves were generated according to the manufacturers’ instructions for the determination of live/dead ratios through dividing fluorescence intensity at 528 nm (G: green) by that at 645 nm (R: red), referred as G/R ratio. Values for different live/dead proportions of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa were plotted either with (a) or without (b) background subtraction.
