This study examined the adaptive response and survival of planktonic and biofilm phenotypes of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis adapted to benzalkonium chloride (BC). Planktonic cells and biofilms were continuously exposed to 1 microg ml(-1) of BC for 144 h. The proportion of BC-adapted biofilm cells able to survive a lethal BC treatment (30 microg ml(-1)) was significantly higher (4.6-fold) than that of...
