Importance of SigB for Listeria monocytogenes static and continuous flow biofilm formation and disinfectant resistance [PDF]

, 2010
Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen that is able to form biofilms in food processing facilities. Biofilms are generally more resistant to antimicrobial agents, making it difficult to eradicate them during cleanup procedures. So far, little is
