Microbial biofilms are communities of aggregated microbial cells embedded in a self-
produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Biofilms are recalcitrant to …

Biofilms contain microbial cells which are protected by a self-produced matrix and they firmly
attach themselves to many different food industry surfaces. Due to this protection …

Biofilms are multicellular communities of bacteria that can adhere to virtually any surface.
Bacterial biofilms are clinically relevant, as they are responsible for up to two-thirds of …

Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is a major human and animal foodborne pathogen. Here we
show that hypervirulent Lm clones, particularly CC1, are strongly associated with dairy …

The foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is a concern in food safety because of its
ability to form biofilm and to persist in food industry. In this mini-review, the issue …

The foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes has the ability to produce biofilms in food-
processing environments and then contaminate food products, which is a major concern for …

Biofilms constitute the prevalent way of life for microorganisms in both natural and man-
made environments. Biofilm-dwelling cells display greater tolerance to antimicrobial agents …

The pathogenic microorganism Listeria monocytogenes is ubiquitous and responsible for
listeriosis, a disease with a high mortality rate in susceptible people. It can persist in different …

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen able to tolerate adverse conditions by
forming biofilms or by deploying stress resistant mechanisms, and thus manages to survive …

Listeria monocytogenes is involved in food-borne illness with a high mortality rate. The
persistence of the pathogen along the food chain can be associated with its ability to form …
