Table 2
Comparative screening of P. aeruginosa clinical isolates for biofilm formation by the tube and tissue culture plate methods in the TSBG medium.
| Biofilm classification (103 isolates) | Number of isolates (%) according to biofilm formation | Tube method (qualitative method) | Tissue culture plate method (quantitative method) |
| Strongly adherent | 28 (27.1%) | 61 (59.2%) | Moderately adherent | 23 (22.3%) | 34 (33.0%) | Weakly adherent | 33 (32.0%) | 8 (7.7%) | Nonadherent | 19 (18.4%) | 0 (0%) |
