Mean values and standard deviations were calculated for swarming and swimming bacterial movement obtained from three replications each on 0.8%, 0.6% and 0.3% KBA. Statistical analyses (Student’s t test) were performed to compare the significant difference in bacterial movement between wild type Psa strain and mutated and complemented strains. a, significant difference to WT at P<0.0001.
