experimental conditions, the culture medium was removed and the viable cells thatremained adhered to the glass substrate were fixed in 1 mL of buffered 2.5%glutaral<strong>de</strong>hy<strong>de</strong> for 24 hours and post-fixed with 1% osmium tetroxi<strong>de</strong> for 1 hour. Thecells adhered to the glass substrate were then <strong>de</strong>hydrated in a series of increasingethanol concentrations (30, 50, 70, 95 and 100%) and immersed in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS; Acros Organics, Springfield, NJ, USA) for 90 minutesand stored in a <strong>de</strong>siccator for 24 hours. The cover glasses were then mounted onmetallic stubs, sputter-coated with gold and the morphology of the surface-adheredL929 cells was examined with a scanning electron microscope (JEOL-JMS-T33AScanning Microscope, Tokyo, Japan).Data analysis and statisticsBacterial cell counts were carried out in duplicate and repeated five times foreach experimental condition. For the purpose of analysis, cfu/mL values weretransformed into logarithm (log 10 ). Data from microbiological evaluation (S. aureus)and cytotoxicity test (L929 fibroblasts) presented a normal distribution and wereanalyzed statistically by ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests. P values of
