Schematic representation of the biofilm formation approaches and experimental workflow. IL: biofilm development on implants within larvae (infection established in vivo); PF: implantation of pre-formed in vitro biofilms into larvae. Larval survival was monitored for 48 h post-implantation, after which implants were retrieved for CFU enumeration and microscopic examination.
