Assessment reveals significant biofilm formation in Salmonella from poultry production, indicating a public health concern.

The central aim is to assess biofilm-forming capabilities of Salmonella isolates from poultry environments.
Assessed 96 Salmonella isolates from various commercial poultry environments in Great Britain.
Utilized crystal violet microtitre plate biofilm assay at temperatures of 20 °C and 25 °C.
Analyzed correlations between biofilm formation, serovar of isolates, assay conditions, and origin.
95 out of 96 Salmonella isolates formed biofilms.
Biofilm formation was influenced by incubation temperature and prolonged incubation period of 72 hours.
Different poultry environments demonstrated significant differences in biofilm-forming capability.

Oastler et al. (2026) studied this question.
