Attachment and Biofilm Formation of Foodborne Pathogens
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Outbreaks of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli are increasingly attributed to fresh produce. Current control measures have been assessed for decades, with no alternatives adopted. Sources were ... -
Biofilm Formation of Escherichia coli from Surface Soils is Influenced by Variation in Cell Envelope, Iron Metabolism, and Attachment Factor Genes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Biofilm formation may increase survival and persistence of Escherichia coli in the highly variable conditions of soil environments, though it remains unknown the extent variation in biofilm formation affects survival. We ... -
Gene Regulation in Biofilms
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Sessile bacterial communities which form on the solid surface or solid-liquid interface are known as biofilms. Both single species and multispecies biofilms are characterized by an extracellular matrix of polymeric ...
