Characterization of the algC Gene Expression Pattern in the Multidrug Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii AIIMS 7 and Correlation with Biofilm Development on Abiotic Surface

Figure 1

Comparison of algC gene expression pattern in biofilm and planktonic A. baumannii AIIMS 7. Real-time quantitative PCR results showing relative quantification of algC gene expression levels (calculated according to ΔΔCt-method and represented as “fold over increase”) at corresponding time points. Expression levels were normalized with indigenous control (16SrRNA gene expression) in both biofilm and planktonic cells (calibrator: 24-hour biofilm sample, fold over increase = 1).
