Attachment of potential spoilage and pathogenic bacteria to food contact surfaces and the
subsequent biofilm formation represent serious challenges to the meat industry, since these …

Biofilms are surface-attached microbial communities with distinct properties, which have a
tremendous impact on public health and food safety. In the meat industry, biofilms remain a …

The ability of foodborne bacterial pathogens, such as Salmonella spp., Listeria
monocytogenes, pathogenic Escherichia coli, Campylobacter spp., Bacillus cereus, and …

Foodborne diseases have always been a threat to human health. They are considered an
emergent public health concern throughout the world. Many outbreaks have been found to …

Biofilm formation will occur on solid surfaces in contact with a liquid. Organic and inorganic
material in the liquid sediment onto the solid material. Subsequently, biologically active …

The presence of undesirable biofilms on food processing contact surfaces may lead to:(1)
transmission of diseases;(2) food spoilage;(3) shortened time between cleaning events;(4) …

This review examines the impact of microbial communities colonizing food processing
environments in the form of biofilms on food safety and food quality. The focus is both on …

Microbial adhesion to surfaces and the consequent biofilm formation has been documented
in many different environments. Biofilms constitute a protected mode of growth that allows …

Pathogens and spoilage microorganisms can develop multispecies biofilms on food contact
surfaces; however, few studies have been focused on evaluated mixed biofilms of these …

Foodborne pathogens are the main factors behind foodborne diseases and food poisoning
and thus pose a great threat to food safety. Many outbreaks have been found to be …
