Table 2. Linear regression coefficients of determination (R2) calculated from the parameters measured in Staphylococcus spp. strains biofilm producers and non-producers.

At least five sampling points along the incubation time were used for the linear regression calculation (see in supplementary material “S1 Fig” the linear regression equations calculated for the biofilm producers).
