Standardization of experimental conditions for biofilm formation by S. pseudintermedius strain DSM 25713 on polystyrene surface. Effect of dynamic (filled squares) or static (filled triangles) incubation, incubation time (24, 48, and 72 h), and inoculum concentration (105, 106, and 107 CFU/mL) on biofilm biomass formation, as assessed by spectrophotometric assay. Values are means ± SDs (n = 6). ***p < 0.001, dynamic vs static, unpaired-t test
