  1. *Results are expressed as a percentage of biofilm formation or elastolytic activity related to control (P. aeruginosa PAO1 without lactobacilli). Only significantly active strains compared to control are displayed (LSD test, p < 0.05 for biofilm formation and p < 0.001 for elastolytic activity).
