Advances on the formation and regulation mechanism of Listeria monocytogenes biofilm

Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen that is capable of developing stubborn biofilm on the surface of food processing equipment and cause continuous contamination of foods.Environmental factors and strain characteristics could affect the formation,number of viable bacteria and the microstructure of biofilm.Moreover,various regulatory mechanisms of L.monocytogenes may play an important role in its biofilm formation.The stage of bacterial biofilm formation and the important factor affecting L.monocytogenes biofilm formation were illustrated.Then the formation mechanism was discussed,including gene regulation,extracellular polymeric substance secretion,and quorum sensing system.This research may help understand the complex physiological process of biofilm formation for further prevention and control of L.monocytogenes biofilm.
