Controlling Biofilm Formation of Foodborne Pathogens Utilizing Probiotics in the Food Industry

The formation of biofilms by microorganisms on food-contact surfaces poses a significant challenge in the agro-food industry. These biofilms act as protective shelters for harmful bacteria, allowing them to survive harsh food preparation conditions and resist antimicrobial agents, including conventional sanitizers and cleaning agents. Addressing this issue is critical for ensuring food safety and mitigating contamination risks. Probiotics, beneficial microorganisms widely used in food production
