a and b Semi-quantitative biofilm and detachment assay of CC522 S. aureus isolates. TM300: S. carnosus (biofilm-negative); RP62A: S. epidermidis (biofilm/PIA-positive); DSM20038: S. saprophyticus subsp. saprophyticus (biofilm/protein-positive); 5 bp+: S. aureus isolate (CF-70518005-I) with a 5 bp deletion within the intergenic region of the ica operon; 5bpdel−: S. aureus isolate (CF-70518005-II) without the 5 bp deletion in the intergenic region of the ica operon; t9268, t18946 and t19031: spa types of S. aureus isolates from the WAD goat. CF: Cystic Fibrosis; NMP: Sodium metaperiodate. Bars represent the mean and standard deviation of three independent experiments. Statistical significance: p-value < 0.01 (**); p-value < 0.0001 (***)
