Data set "Correlation of in vitro biofilm formation capacity with persistence of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli on fresh leafy produce"

This repository contains the metadata and raw data for the analysis of an in vitro screening of 174 antibiotic-resistance E. coli strains isolated from various sources to evaluate their ability and strength to form biofilms. This repository contains the raw data to characterise a subset of eleven E. coli strains in their population dynamics and persistance on lamb's lettuce (Valerianella locusta) leaves. Raw images (czi format) of live/dead stain of selected strains in V. locusta leaves are provided. Data analysis and image processing scripts can be found in the GitHub repository associated to the manuscript.
