Abstract excerpt
The Congo Red (CR) assay is a standard biofilm test assessing the colony morphology of bacteria growing on agar plates supplemented with the diazo dye Congo Red. Biofilm forming Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Escherichia coli produce a red, dry, and rough (rdar) morphotype on CR-plates. The phenotype is characterized by staining of the extracellular matrix components curli (brown color) and cellulose...
