Biofilms are widespread in nature and constitute an important strategy implemented by
microorganisms to survive in sometimes harsh environmental conditions. They can be …

Biofilms have been of considerable interest in the context of food hygiene. Of special
significance is the ability of microorganisms to attach and grow on food and food-contact …

Microorganisms on wet surfaces have the ability to aggregate, grow into microcolonies, and
produce biofilm. Growth of biofilms in food processing environments leads to increased …

Bacterial biofilm formation is the prevailing microbial lifestyle in natural and manmade
environments and occurs on all surface types. Biofilm formation develops in several phases …

The six years that have passed since the publication of the first edition have brought
significant advances in both biofilm research and biofilm engineering, which have matured …

Biofilm formation on stainless steel by Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes,
Escherichia coli O157: H7, Pseudomonas fragi and Pseudomonas fluorescens during …

This work describes the implementation of a new assay named the BioFilm Ring Test® to
evaluate the ability of bacteria to form biofilms. This assay is based on the immobilisation (or …

This study was conducted to compare the susceptibility of planktonic cells, attached single
cells and biofilm cells of Bacillus cereus to sodium hypochlorite and Spartec, a quaternary …

The quantity of microorganisms that may be transferred to a food that comes into contact with
a contaminated surface depends on the density of microorganisms on the surface and on …

At 22° C a flagellin mutant of Listeria monocytogenes was found to attach to stainless steel
at levels 10-fold lower than wild-type cells, even under conditions preventing active motility …
