Biofilm Formation by Mycobacterium bovis: Influence of Surface Kind and Temperatures of Sanitizer Treatments on Biofilm Control

Table 5

Efficacy of sanitizing treatments on biofilm removal.

Treatment	Temperature (°C)	Residual biofilm mass (𝐴600)
Control (n = 216)		1.027^a
Water (n = 216)	85	0.762^b
Sanitizer A (2%; n = 432)	28	0.661^c
	45	0.428^f
Sanitizer B (0.5%; n = 432)	28	0.633^d
	45	0.432^e

Means in the same column not followed by the same lower case letters is significantly different (P < 0.05).
