  1. Basal biofilm production after 24 h in ESBL-producing isolates (ESBL), non-ESBL-producing UPEC isolates (UPEC) and non-pathogenic E. coli K-12 strains (MG1655 and TG1) evaluated by the crystal violet method and measured by absorbance levels (A540). Detectable biofilm production was considered at A540 ≥ 0.1. Mean values from three to six independent experiments
