Ability of 63 CF MRSA strains to form early biofilm according to MLST genotype. (A) Relative distribution of strains according to their genotype MLST (ST, sequence type) and their ability to form early biofilm as shown in (B). The number of strains and patients are indicated at the bottom of the figure for each ST. (B) Dynamics of early biofilm formation determined using BRT® and filtered ASM after 1.5 and 4h of incubation. Red, strains with low biofilm index (BFI) values (≤4) associated with full immobilization of the magnetic beads due to complete biofilm formation; green, non-adherent strains (BFI values: 19.9–20.3); orange, strains with intermediate BFI values (8.4–13.5).
