Biofilm matrix composition affects the susceptibility of food associated staphylococci to cleaning and disinfection agents

Staphylococci are frequently isolated from food processing environments, and it has been speculated whether survival after cleaning and disinfection with benzalkonium chloride-containing disinfectants is due to biofilm formation, matrix composition or benzalkonium chloride efflux mechanisms.
