Recent knowledge concerned with surface attachment and biofilm forming activities of bacteria
2000
Farkas, J.
This presentation summarizes and illustrates with literary exemples the most recent information demonstrating that biofilm formation is a dynamic and multiple-stage process. The extracellular polymer substances made by the fixed bacteria stabilize the biofilm. There appear interrelationships within the bacterium community and the bacteria living in the biofilm are getting more resistant to the antimicrobial effects than those being outside at a planktonic state. The speaker gives a short review about the research outcomes indicating the influence of different constructional material and surface types used in the food industry as well as of certain environmental factors made on the attachment of bacteria, the biofilm formation and the efficiency of protection
