Abstract: The ability of antibiotic resistant E. faecalis and E. faecium isolated from food to form biofilm at different temperatures in the absence or presence of 0.75% glucose was evaluated. A synergistic effect on biofilm at 10 °C, 28 °C, 37 °C and 45 °C and glucose was observed for E. faecalis and E. faecium.

“…Several authors have reported E. faecalis strains isolated from food samples with ability to form biofilms (Medeiros et al 2014, Jahan and Holley 2014, Fernandes et al 2015. Apparently, the biofilm formation by this bacterial species is influenced by several aspects, such as temperature, exposure to nutrients and sanitizers, and surface characteristics (Marinho et al 2013, Fernandes et al 2015. According to Jahan and Holley (2014), their capacity to exchange genetic information by conjugation, contributes to the resistance and dissemination of E. faecalis in food.…”

“…These isolates were previously identified by Martins et al (2013) and Riboldi et al (2009 Quantitative determination of biofilm was determined by crystal violet assay (CV) in accordance with Stepanović et al (2007) with some modifications. This methodology was chosen, for being the reference protocol to detection of biofilm formed by isolated food pathogens (Rodrigues et al 2010, Marinho et al 2013, Pinto et al 2015.…”

“…Kristich et al (2004) demonstrated glucose-mediated inhibition of biofilm production among Enterococcus strains. In a study performed by Marinho et al (2013), a synergistic effect on biofilm at 10, 28, 37 and 45°C and glucose was observed for E. faecalis and E. faecium as well. This thread can be taken in another angle; the glucose effect on biofilm formation can be considered important due to its ability to detect enterococcal biofilms in early stages or to select the biofilm producer bacteria in a more efficient way so that early detection of biofilm producing enterococci can be one of the essential steps towards prevention and management of nosocomial infections, as most of the hospital-acquired infections are biofilm related.…”
