Biofilm-forming capacity of <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolated from cattle and beef packing plants: relation to virulence attributes, stage of processing, antimicrobial interventions, and heat tolerance
2021-03-25
Abstract excerpt
Despite the importance of biofilm formation in contamination of meat by pathogenic Escherichia coli at slaughter plants, drivers for biofilm have been unclear. To identify selection pressures for biofilm, we evaluated 745 ‘Top 7’ from cattle and 700 generic E. coli from two beef slaughter plants for motility, expression of curli and cellulose, and biofilm-forming potential. Top 7 were also screened for serogroup...
