Aims:  To investigate the biofilm formation by 122 Salmonella spp. and 48 Listeria monocytogenes strains on a plastic surface.
Effect of Flagella on Initial Attachment of Listeria monocytogenes to Stainless Steel
TLDR
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, suggesting that flagella per se facilitate the early stage of attachment.
Listeria monocytogenes LO28: Surface Physicochemical Properties and Ability To Form Biofilms at Different Temperatures and Growth Phases
TLDR
The colonization of the two surfaces showed that the strain had a great capacity to colonize both surfaces whatever the incubation temperature, however, biofilm formation was faster on the hydrophilic substratum, and the surface physicochemical properties of the strain are correlated with adhesion and surface colonization.
Growth of Listeria monocytogenes as a Biofilm on Various Food-Processing Surfaces.
TLDR
Biofilm growth of L. monocytogenes was sufficient to provide a substantial risk of this pathogen contaminating the food-processing plant environment if wet surfaces are not maintained in a sanitary condition.
Effects of physicochemical surface characteristics of Listeria monocytogenes strains on attachment to glass.
Effect of Nutrients on Biofilm Formation by Listeria monocytogenes on Stainless Steel.
TLDR
Replacement of amino acids in MWB with tryptone initially enhanced biofilm development, but the effect was not significant after 12 days of incubation, and of five carbohydrates tested, mannose and trehalose enhanced biofilms development.
Characterization of physicochemical forces involved in adhesion of Listeria monocytogenes to surfaces
TLDR
Physicochemical characterization of Listeria monocytogenes by various methods indicates that this microorganism is hydrophilic, and the interfacial free energy of adhesion of L. monocyTogenes Scott A estimated for polypropylene and rubber was lower than that for glass and stainless steel, however, these theoretical implications could not be correlated with the attachment capabilities.
Relationship of cell surface charge and hydrophobicity to strength of attachment of bacteria to cantaloupe rind.
TLDR
Initial bacterial attachment was highest for individual strains of E. coli and lowest for L. monocytogenes, but Salmonella exhibited the strongest attachment on days 0, 3, and 7 and when mixed-genus cocktails were used, the relative degrees of attachment of the three genera ware altered.
