TL;DR: This review will discuss the mechanisms identified as playing a role in biofilm resistance to disinfectants, as well as novel anti-biofilm strategies that have recently been explored.

TL;DR: This review aims at helping scientists in finding the most appropriate and up-to-date methods to study their biofilms by giving a critical perspective, highlighting the advantages and limitations of several methods.

TL;DR: The present review focuses on the principal mechanisms involved in the formation of biofilms of food-borne pathogens, where biofilm behaviour is driven by its three-dimensional heterogeneity and by species interactions within these biostructures, and the authors look at some emergent control strategies.

TL;DR: The nonlinear effects of the growth temperature on the physicochemical properties of the cells were similar for cells cultivated in two different growth media, but bacteria cultivated in Trypticase soy broth supplemented with 6 g of yeast extract per liter (TSYE) were slightly more hydrophobic than cells cultivating in brain heart infusion medium (P < 0.05).

TL;DR: It is found that the presence of flagella decreased the adhesion of the bacterium to glass surfaces, and it is hypothesized that this decrease is a consequence of the flagellar apparatus hindering a direct interaction between the bacterial cell wall and the surface.
