From: An association between milk and slime increases biofilm production by bovine Staphylococcus aureus

Figure 1

Skim milk and slime increase the production of biofilm by bovine Staphylococcus aureus strains. Bacteria were grown in polystyrene microtiter plates in TSB supplemented with 0.25% glucose or skim-milk medium, and biofilm production was visualized by crystal violet staining. Isolates cultivated in skim-milk medium (A) and isolates with a slime-positive phenotype grown in skim-milk medium (B) showed increases in biofilm production. The horizontal bar represents the average biofilm production. The experiments were performed in triplicate. * P < 0.001.
