Table 3.3: Intra-serovar differences in mean log 10 density <strong>of</strong> cells recovered from 168 hour bi<strong>of</strong>ilm (measured in Mean Log 10 CFU/coupon)<br />

Table 3.3 displays the mean log 10 density <strong>of</strong> cells recovered from the surfaces after 168 hour bi<strong>of</strong>ilm formation. The table incorporates the<br />

mean log 10 density and standard deviation <strong>of</strong> the mean (SD) <strong>of</strong> cells recovered from bi<strong>of</strong>ilm by 2 Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica<br />

serovar Agona strains (S09-0494 and SL483), 2 S. Typhimurium strains (S09-0419 and SL1344). The differences between the strains in each<br />

serovar (intra-serovar) were also compared (significance <strong>of</strong> the differences between the strains denoted by P value). The mean log 10 density<br />

and SD are also included for the S. Enteritidis strain S09-0717.<br />
