We used LEfSe v1.0.0 to investigate potential interactions between the abundance of 66 predicted functional pathways76 (link)–80 (link) involved in biofilm formation, in high- and low-resistome diversity groups, with a threshold of logarithmic LDA 2.0. We categorised samples according to their resistome diversity into the high and low Shannon score group. The cut off Shannon index scores were based on distribution, with a mean of 2.10 (below 2.10 = low diversity, above 2.10 = high diversity). Biofilm-related pathways were normalised on a per sample basis to sum to 1.0.
