Role of benzalkonium chloride surface preconditioning in the increased resistance of biofilms to removal and disinfection

The main goals of the present study was to ascertain the role of surface preconditioning in the biofilm sanitation (removal and disinfection) ability of the cationic surfactant benzalkonium chloride (BC) and to investigated whether BC preconditioning can be a factor of the increased resistance of th...
