Ability of pathogenic and opportunistic pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae to the formation of biofilms

The most of studied pathogens of intestinal infections are capable of forming biofilms (Salmonella spp. - 84,2 %; Shigella spp. - 90,0 %; pathogenicE. coli - 75,0 %; opportunistic Enterobacteriaceae isolated from people with intestinal infections -100,0 %, isolated from diseased animals - 83,3 %). More active formation of biofilms in studied microorganisms was detected in conditions of cultivation at 37 °C, in comparison with lower temperatures (24 °C)
