AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined how different glucose levels affected biofilm formation on polystyrene by four types of bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, L. welshimeri, and Escherichia coli, which were isolated from a slaughtering plant.
- At least one concentration of glucose enabled each of the tested bacteria to produce biofilm.
- Some of the bacteria demonstrated strong biofilm production capabilities.
Article Abstract
This study assessed biofilm formation on polystyrene by Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, L. welshimeri and Escherichia coli, isolated from a slaughtering plant, grown on tryptic soy broth (TSB) using different glucose concentrations. The tested bacteria produced biofilm in at least one of the concentrations used, and some of them were strong biofilm producers.
