Adhesion of Listeria monocytogenes to silica surfaces after sequential and competitive adsorption of bovine serum albumin and beta-lactoglobulin.
Adsorbed bovine serum albumin was resistant to exchange with beta-lactoglobulin, and when albumin was adsorbed from a mixture, its surface concentration increased with time. The passivating character of adsorbed albumin and its resistance to desorption were consistent with the level of Listeria monocytogenes adhesion evoked by albumin-containing protein films.
