Spatial and phylogenetic characterisation of raw-milk biofilms with incorporated Listeria mo-nocytogenes
Project
Project code: BfR-BIOS-08-1329-466
Contract period: 01.07.2011
- 30.06.2012
Purpose of research: Applied research
Without sufficient cleaning a successively establishment of biofilms derived from the microbial community of raw milk are found on devices of milk production. Such microbial communities establish a biofilm matrix, which enable pathogenic incorporation like Listeria (L.) monocytogenes and as consequence a continuous contamination of food processing plants. As the ability of L. monocytogenes to incorporate in raw-milk biofilms is not known, quantification of attached Listeria is desired.
Moreover, spatial distribution of incorporated L. monocytogenes strains and phylogenetic identification of microbial partners of Listeria should be analysed in detail.
