Biofilm Formation and the Presence of the Intercellular Adhesion Locus <i>ica</i> among Staphylococci from Food and Food Processing Environments

1 Sept 2003

Abstract excerpt

In clinical staphylococci, the presence of the ica genes and biofilm formation are considered important for virulence. Biofilm formation may also be of importance for survival and virulence in food-related staphylococci. In the present work, staphylococci from the food industry were found to differ greatly in their abilities to form biofilms on polystyrene. A total of 7 and 21 of 144 food-related strains were...
