Table 1 Wall residue biofilm colony count after bacterium and detergent suspension soaked

Detergents	Average actual colony count (CFU/piece, ± SD)	Average standard colony count (lgCFU/piece, ± SD)
Enzymatic detergent	(1.15 ± 0.86) × 10⁴	3.96 ± 0.35^a
Non-enzymatic detergent	(6.85 ± 2.90) × 10	1.80 ± 0.21^b
Control	(1.69 ± 0.65) × 10⁴	4.19 ± 0.22

^aP = 0.00 vs the control group,

^bP = 0.25 vs the control group.
