| Growth medium | No. (%) of isolatesa
|
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bfm and AHL | Bfm, no AHL | No Bfm, AHL | No Bfm, no AHL | |
| SLB | 10 (28) | 7 (19) | 17 (47) | 2 (6) |
| SBSM-citrate | 17 (47) | 8 (22) | 10 (28) | 1 (3) |
| SBSM-glucose | 10 (28) | 9 (25) | 17 (47) | 0 (0) |
Associated phenotypes shown as numbers of isolates and, in parentheses, percentage of total strains tested for both phenotypes. Bfm, biofilm; AHL, acyl-HSL synthesis.
