Biofilm-encoding genes in relation to phenotypic biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus isolates obtained from the examined samples. a: the incidence of different biofilm phenotypes detected in the examined S. aureus isolates. b: the frequency distribution of biofilm genes in relation to biofilm phenotype. c: the total incidence of biofilm-encoding genes detected in the biofilm-producing isolates.
