Figure 1 Boxplots of the in vitro biofilm production of Staph. aureus strains of the major spa types (n≥5). Each dot represents one strain. Biofilm production was different among the main spa types, especially spa types t730 and t1456, which produced less biofilm than the other main spa type. Significance was determined by an ANOVA test (* P<0.05; ** P<0.01).
