  1. Data are expressed as number (percentage) of isolates
  2. a The percentage of SLI-Biofilm formation in this collection of A. baumannii clinical isolates has already been published by Rodriguez-Baño et al (16); this study showed that 63% of the clinical isolates were forming SLI-biofilm at 37°C
