Biofilm of Ct in combination with bacterial species under static and flow condition: The population of Kp and Ec was found to be absent in presence of Ct under both static (a, g respectively) and flow (b, h respectively) condition. In case of Ct + Pa, a mixed population of live and dead Ct and Pa cells was seen clustered around Ct cells in static (d) whereas a uniformly spread biofilm was observed inn flow condition (h). The graphical representation of cell count has been shown for each isolate in c, f, i. The scale on the image is 22 μm.
