From: Biofilm formation in Streptococcus suis: in vitro impact of serovars and assessment of coinfections with other porcine respiratory disease complex bacterial pathogens

Figure 1

Biofilm formation of Streptococcus suis isolates recovered from Spanish swine farms. A) Boxplots illustrating biofilm formation categorized by S. suis serovar (SV). Biofilm formation for each isolate was quantified as the difference in absorbance (OD595) from that of the negative control (DC). Each S. suis isolate is represented by a dot with horizontal jitter for visibility. The horizontal box lines represent the first quartile, the median, and the third quartile. Whiskers extend to the 1.5 interquartile range. B) Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of biofilm formation in S. suis isolates belonging to the four main SVs (ID): S. suis SV1 (990), S. suis SV2 (1001), S. suis SV7 (998), and S. suis SV9 (969).
