A recent study emerged from Penn State University about multispecies biofilms that provide Listeria monocytogenes with a strategy against sanitizers.1 This study brings much-needed attention to a persistent problem in the food safety community. Here, I provide several comments on this topic. Read More at the Link Above
A biofilm is a complex and dynamic community of microorganisms that adhere to surfaces and are encased in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Biofilms can form on a wide range of surfaces, including natural substrates such as rocks and plant surfaces, as well as artificial surfaces such as medical implants, industrial equipment, and food processing equipment.
