This research was carried out to investigate the differences in adhesion and growth during biofilm formation of L. monocytogenes from different sources and clonal complexes. Biofilm by L. monocytogenes (isolates CLIST 441 and 7: both lineage I, serotype 1/2b, CC3; isolates 19 and 508: both lineage II, serotype 1/2c, CC9) was grown on stainless steel coupons under different stressing conditions (NaCl, curing salts and quaternary ammonium compounds-QAC), to determine the expression of different genes involved in biofilm formation and stress response. CLIST 441, which carries a premature stop codon (PMSC) in agrC, formed high-density biofilms in the presence of QAC (7.5% w/v) or curing salts (10% w/v). Reverse Transcriptase-qPCR results revealed that L. monocytogenes isolates presented differences in transcriptional profile of genes related to biofilm formation and adaptation to environmental conditions. Our results demonstrated how L. monocytogenes can survive, multiply and form biofilm under adverse conditions related to food processing environments. Differences in transcriptional expression were observed, highlighting the role of regulatory gene networks for particular serotypes under different stress responses.
