Comparative analysis of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium biofilm formation on gallstones and on glass.
In this study, the roles of global regulators, motility, lipopolysaccharide, and exopolysaccharides were further characterized with respect to biofilm formation on both gallstones and glass surfaces. These studies show the complex nature of biofilms and demonstrate that characteristics observed for each biofilm are unique to the particular culture condition.
