CAM/TMA-DPH as a promising alternative to SYTO9/PI for cell viability assessment in bacterial biofilms by Tinatini Tchatchiashvili, Tinatini Tchatchiashvili, Mateusz Jundzill, Mateusz Jundzill, Mike Marquet, Kamran A. Mirza, Kamran A. Mirza, Mathias W. Pletz, Mathias W. Pletz, Oliwia Makarewicz, Oliwia Makarewicz, Lara Thieme, Lara Thieme

“…Biofilm viability was assessed using CAM/TMA-DPH or SYTO9/PIstaining, followed by analysis with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and ImageJ-based biofilm surface coverage quantification. Viability findings were compared with colony-forming units (CFU/mL), a standard microbial viability measure.ResultsCAM/TMA-DPH staining demonstrated strong positive correlations with CFU counts across all bacterial species (r = 0.59 - 0.91), accurately reflecting biofilm vitality. …”
