Influence of incubation conditions on the formation of model biofilms by Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella Typhimurium on abiotic surfaces.

The developed model biofilms can be applied as a standard to study biofilms (in different research fields) and their subsequent inactivation by different methods. In addition, the results of this study could be used to control biofilm formation (e.g. by setting a maximum allowed surface temperature).
