Additionally, 99 of the isolates harboured the <jats:italic>toxR<\/jats:italic> gene. The study further revealed that 81 and 94 of the isolates harboured the class I integron (encoded by <jats:italic>inDS<\/jats:italic> gene) and integrating conjugative element (ICE), respectively. Antibiotic resistance assays confirmed tetracycline resistance genes as the most abundant (97 isolates). Among them were seven isolates resistant to commonly used antibiotics. The study further screened the isolates for antibiofilm formation using various antibiotics. Unlike the four strains (<jats:italic>03\/17\u201316, 02\/17\u201309, 04\/17\u201313<\/jats:italic>), three of the strains (<jats:italic>04\/17\u201307, 06\/17\u201314<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>05\/17\u201303<\/jats:italic>) did not form biofilms. Further, all the seven isolates that exhibited extensive antibiotic resistance produced haemolysin while 71.42%, 85.71 and 71.42\u200a% of them produced protease, phospholipases and lipase, respectively.
