Confocal spectral microscopy, a non-destructive approach to follow contamination and biofilm formation of mCherry Staphylococcus aureus on solid surfaces

Abstract Methods to test the safety of wood material for hygienically sensitive places are indirect, destructive and limited to incomplete microbial recovery via swabbing, brushing and elution-based techniques. Therefore, we chose mCherry Staphylococcus aureus as a model bacterium for solid and poro...
