P. aeruginosa biofilm force–displacement curve for the control sample on the glass coupon. Data for (dashed line) tip-sample approach and (solid line) tip-sample retraction are shown. The negative displacement of the cantilever that occurred due to tip adhesion to the biofilm upon retraction is designated as the adhesive step.
