Differential gene expression between Salmonella Typhimurium biofilms on glass vs cholesterol surfaces
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Salmonella spp. biofilms have been implicated in persistence in the environment and plant surfaces. In addition, Salmonella is able to form biofilms on the surface on cholesterol gallstones. The ability of Salmonella spp. on these surfaces is superior to biofilm formation on surfaces on glass or plastic. Thus, we hypothesized that Salmonella gene expression is specific during biofilm development on cholesterol surfaces. Flow through assays were performed whereby S. Typhimurium was inoculated into chambers coated with glass or cholesterol. At 24h post-inoculation, planktonic (from the flow through), biofilms (from glass or cholesterol) were collected. Thus we had 4 samples: Planktonic (2) and Biofilms (2), each with 2 biological replicates
