Results from this study showed that the effect of disinfection on
C. perfringens biofilms was different depending on the temperature
used to produce the biofilm. This could be due to the effect of
temperature on the ability of this bacterium to form biofilm.
Indeed, it was shown previously that for C. perfringens the optimal
temperature for biofilm formation was 44 C (Charlebois et al.,
2014). This modulation of temperature on biofilm formation was
also described for other bacteria
