A biofilm can be defined as a community of microorganisms adhering to a surface and
surrounded by a complex matrix of extrapolymeric substances. It is now generally accepted …

Biofilms are complex microbial associations anchored to abiotic or biotic surfaces,
embedded in extracellular matrix produced by the biofilms themselves where they interact …

Bacterial biofilms pose health risks in clinical environments, food industry and drinking water
systems. Here, we investigated in vitro antibiofilm activities of essential oils (EO) and plant …

The ability of many bacteria to adhere to surfaces and to form biofilms has major implications
in a variety of industries including the food industry, where biofilms create a persistent …

Biofilms are matrix‐enclosed microbial aggregates that adhere to a biological or
nonbiological surface. Biofilm formation is a significant problem in the medical, food, and …

Biofilms have been of considerable interest in the context of food hygiene. Of special
significance is the ability of microorganisms to attach and grow on food and food-contact …

Listeria monocytogenes has the ability to form biofilms on food-processing surfaces,
potentially leading to food product contamination. The objective of this research was to …

Microorganisms on wet surfaces have the ability to aggregate, grow into microcolonies, and
produce biofilm. Growth of biofilms in food processing environments leads to increased …

Biofilms are a self-protection growth pattern of bacteria, which are different from planktonic
cells. They have been of considerable interest in food hygiene since biofilms may contain …

Bacteria in milk have the ability to adhere and aggregate on stainless steel surfaces,
resulting in biofilm formation in milk storage tanks and milk process lines. Growth of biofilms …
