Abstract
Biofilm formation by the gram-positive, motile, food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes was demonstrated to occur by an ordered series of stages. Biofilm development involves flagellum-based motility, which when blocked decreases initial bacterial surface attachment but subsequently leads to the formation of hyperbiofilms, surface-attached communities reaching high density.Keywords
