Abstract
Biofilms were formed by inoculations of
Salmonella enterica
serovar Typhimurium and
Escherichia coli
on HEp-2 cells. Inoculations of
S. enterica
serovar Typhimurium and
E. coli
resulted in the formation of an extensive biofilm of
S. enterica
serovar Typhimurium. In experiments where an
E. coli
biofilm was first formed followed by challenge with
S. enterica
serovar Typhimurium, there was significant biofilm formation by
S. enterica
serovar Typhimurium. The results of this study indicate that
S. enterica
serovar Typhimurium can outgrow
E. coli
in heterologous infections and displace
E. coli
when it forms a biofilm on HEp-2 cells.
