The present study investigated the efficacy of single and combined treatment of both chlorine and thiamine dilaurylsulfate (TDS) on the reduction of Listeria monocytogenes biofilms in microtiter plate. The disinfectants used in this study were 50, 100, and 200 mg/L chlorine and 100, 500, and 1000 mg/L of TDS. Biofilm-forming index (BFI) and culturable cell count were used to evaluate the disinfectant assay. The highest BFI reduction was 0.80, achieved by the combination of 200 mg/L chlorine and 1000 mg/L TDS. In contrast, the highest culturable cell count reduction was 4.80 log colony-forming units/well by the combination of 200 mg/L chlorine and 100 mg/L TDS. The BFI was reduced in a concentration-dependent manner while culturable cell count was significantly reduced only when all chlorine concentration was combined with 100 mg/L TDS. However, when chlorine was combined with a higher concentration of TDS, the reduction decreased significantly. The result in this study showed that the combination of the 200 mg/L chlorine and 1000 mg/L TDS could be a practical application in removing L. monocytogenes biofilms from surfaces in food industry, and for the 200 mg/L chlorine and 100 mg/L, it can be used for killing the pathogen biofilms. However, more studies are still needed in order to show its efficacy on foods surfaces as well as to develop an even more effective treatment in both killing and removing biofilms.
