Pathogenic microorganisms are a potential threat to the agriculture and food industries. Food contamination can be happened in the production levels at any point in the chain by pathogenic microorganisms. Conventional methods, such as those involving antibiotics, disinfectants, and physical methods,...

Aeromonas hydrophila recently has received increased attention because it is opportunistic and a primary human pathogen. A. hydrophila biofilm formation and its control are a major concern for food safety because biofilms are related to virulence. Therefore, we investigated biofilm formation, motili...

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is one of the leading foodborne pathogens causing seafood contamination. Here, 22 V. parahaemolyticus strains were analyzed for biofilm formation to determine whether there is a correlation between biofilm formation and quorum sensing (QS), swimming motility, or hydrophobicit...

Disease outbreaks from fresh produce have been increasing as a result of the increasing global consumption of produce. We evaluated the efficiency of cold oxygen plasma (COP), a new technology for the decontamination of fresh produce, in reducing biofilm of Aeromonas hydrophila, an emerging food-bor...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of salinity and age of cultures on quorum sensing, exoprotease production, and biofilm formation by Aeromonas hydrophila on stainless steel (SS) and crab shell as substrates. Biofilm formation was assessed at various salinities, from fresh (0%) to sa...

Abstract Formation of mixed‐species biofilms constitutes a common adaptation of foodborne pathogens and indigenous microbiota for prolonged survival in their food niche. Nevertheless, the potential role of mixed‐species biofilms in food safety remains to be elucidated. The formation of mixed‐species...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a commercial bacteriophage (ListShield) against Listeria monocytogenes, alone or in combination with UV-C treatment, using artificially inoculated chicken breast. A mixture of three L. monocytogenes strains ATCC 19113, ATCC 19115, and ATCC 13932 w...

Abstract Biofilm formation is a growing concern in the food industry . Escherichia coli O157:H7 is one of the most important foodborne pathogens that can persists in food and food‐related environments and subsequently produce biofilms. The efficacy of bacteriophage BPECO 19 was evaluated against thr...

Microbial biofilms pose a serious threat to food industry, as they are difficult to inactivate or remove owing to their inherent resistance to traditional physical and antimicrobial treatments. Bacteriophages have been suggested as promising biocontrol agents for eliminating biofilms within the food...

This study investigated the antimicrobial and antibiofilm efficacy of separate and combined treatments of Lactobacillus curvatus B67-produced postbiotic and the polyphenolic flavanol quercetin against Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium. The antimicrobial potentiality of ...
