This paper reviews the effect of substratum topography on microbial retention. It is generally
acknowledged that an increased substratum surface roughness affects the retention of …

Biofilms affect the lives of all of us, growing as they do for example on our teeth (as plaque),
on catheters and medical implants in our bodies, on our boats and ships, in food processing …

The effectiveness of cleaning was investigated through food factory trials and laboratory
experiments using a naturally occurring biofilm from a food factory environment and …

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether hygienic characteristics of stainless steel used
in the food industry could be improved by smoothing surface roughness (Ra) from Ra 0.9 …

The quality of products produced by dairy manufacturing plant is threatened when bacteria
attached to and growing (biofilm formation) on stainless steel are released into the product …

Biofilms on the surfaces of dairy manufacturing plant threaten the quality and safety of dairy
products. Biofilms on dairy processing lines are characterised by rapid development (< 12 h) …

Nous avons étudié la capacité d'adhérence de spores bactériennes et de cellules
végétatives sur des surfaces inertes en mesurant le nombre de spores capables d'adhérer …

The objective of this study was to assess the presence of a Listeria monocytogenes-
containing biofilm in milking equipment as a potential source of bulk tank milk contamination …

The hygienic status of stainless steels used for food equipment was investigated by means
of the number of residual adhering Bacillus cereus spores after a complete run of soiling and …

This study aimed to assess the adhesion, detachment kinetic and biofilm formation of
Staphylococcus aureus isolates from food services surfaces on stainless steel and …
