Table 3
Association between biofilm-forming genes in different categories of biofilm-forming S. maltophilia isolates (n = 94).
| Biofilm-formation genes | No. (%) of isolates | Degree of biofilm n (%) | Strong (N = 18) | Moderate (N = 56) | Weak (N = 19) | None (N = 1) | value |
| smf-1 | 91 (96.80) | 18 (19.78) | 54 (59.34) | 18 (19.78) | 1 (1.10) | | rmlA | 92 (97.88) | 18 (19.56) | 56 (60.88) | 18 (19.56) | 0.0 (0) | | spgM | 94 (100) | 18 (19.15) | 56 (59.58) | 19 (20.21) | 1 (1.06) | | rpfF | 71 (75.53) | 14 (19.72) | 42 (59.15) | 14 (19.72) | 1 (1.41) | |
