Biofilm formation under high shear stress increases resilience to chemical and mechanical challenges

The effect that the hydrodynamic conditions under which biofilms are formed has on their persistence is still unknown. This study assessed the behaviour of Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilms, formed on stainless steel under different shear stress (sw) conditions (1, 2 and 4 Pa), to chemical (benzalkon...
