Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms and Their Influence on Bacterial Adhesion and Cohesion

Figure 12

Biofilm adhesiveness assay for PIA-independent and PIA-dependent biofilms. The -axis shows methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates before (blue bars) and after washing (red bars); the -axis shows the percentage of cells that adhered to glass beads. Bars represent the mean values ± standard error of the mean of at least three independent experiments.
