GEN, gentamicin; ERY, erythromycin; TET, tetracycline.

aac6-aph2a, gentamicin; ermB/ermC/ermG, erythromycin; tetK/tetM, tetracycline; vanB, vancomycin resistance genes.

Numbers indicate the number of plasmid bands observed in the 1% agarose gel or in the PFGE.

0, no biofilm-forming capacity; 1, weak biofilm-forming capacity; 2, strong biofilm-forming capacity, 3, very strong biofilm-forming capacity.

Weak signal intensity in the Southern blot.
