Word format, DGGE data, Identity of bacteria found on the individual catheters, based on sequenced DGGE-bands. X indicates that the species was identified on the catheter. "I" refers to a biofilm sample from the internal site, "E" refers to a biofilm sample from the external site, and "M" is a mixed sample. Accession number for closest relatives are included if they were unknown microorganisms. For catheter number 7 no DGGE data was obtained.
