Özet
In recent years, it has been emphasized that biofilms formed by Salmonella, one of the worldwide zoonotic pathogens, is a factor that supports resistance to disinfectants and antibiotics, and that some serotypes with multiple antibiotic resistance spread in this way. This study aimed to examine the biofilm structures formed by Salmonella serovars (S. Enteritidis and S. Infantis), from poultry litter isolates, under different environmental conditions and to determine the optimum conditions. The biofilm formation potential of the strains at different temperatures (20°C and 37°C) during 24, 48 and 72 hours of incubation was examined. It was determined that all strains formed biofilms at different degrees (weak, medium, and strong). For strong biofilm formation, 48 and 72 hours of incubation at 20°C or 72 hours of incubation at 20°C and 37°C were considered suitable for the Salmonella serovars used in this research. The findings of this study indicate that determining the biofilm-forming potential of Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Infantis serovars will make a significant contribution to our understanding of the resistance mechanisms of these pathogens in the industrial and medical sectors aid the development of effective strategies to prevent their spread.
