Biofilm Control

RSS

A recent study has approximated the economic impact of biofilms on the food industry and describes the existing scientific and technological challenges related to biofilm innovation.

Biofilm remains a significant public health-related issue in the food industry. The group behavior of pathogens results in resistant behaviors, including for commonly used disinfectants and antibiotics. Through the food supply chain, these pathogens can easily enter into the human and animal populations, making it imperative to understand the biofilm formation dynamics of these pathogens and how to prevent and control their formation.

This article will review sanitizers and disinfectants in terms of their different efficacies to the tolerance exhibited by some microorganisms. Learn which works best against your food microbe of choice.
