摘要
Crystal violet-based assay is widely used to evaluate the early stages of bacterial biofilm formation. Here, we modified it to study biofilm formation in medical tubing. While cost-effective and requiring no sophisticated equipment, our method provided quantitative and qualitative distinctions between the ability of four bacterial strains to colonize PVC catheters.
