Development of Predictive Modeling for Removal of Multispecies Biofilms of Enteritidis, , and from Poultry Slaughterhouse Surfaces.

Enteritidis, , and are among the most common foodborne pathogens worldwide, and poultry products are strongly associated with foodborne pathogen outbreaks. These pathogens are capable of producing biofilms on several surfaces used in the food processing industry, including polyethylene and stainless steel. However, studies on multi-species biofilms are rare.

Phenotypic and molecular characterisation of spp. isolates in healthy poultry.

1. Epidemiological surveillance of spp. serves as a primary tool for maintaining the health of poultry flocks.

Adhesion capacity of Salmonella Enteritidis, Escherichia coli and Campylobacter jejuni on polystyrene, stainless steel, and polyethylene surfaces.

Poultry products are recognized as the main source of Salmonella and Campylobacter jejuni infections in humans, while avian pathogenic Escherichia coli may have zoonotic potential and can be transmitted from chicken meat to humans. Biofilm formation contributes to their spread through the food chain. This study aimed to compare the adhesion of Salmonella Enteritidis, E.

Antibiofilm activity of electrochemically activated water (ECAW) in the control of Salmonella Heidelberg biofilms on industrial surfaces.

Owing to its antimicrobial activity, electrochemically activated water (ECAW) is a potential alternative to chemical disinfectants for eliminating foodborne pathogens, including Salmonella Heidelberg, from food processing facilities. However, their antibiofilm activity remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the antibiofilm activity of ECAW against S.

Antibiofilm activity of the biosurfactant and organic acids against foodborne pathogens at different temperatures, times of contact, and concentrations.

Biofilm formation has been suggested to play a significant role in the survival of pathogens in food production. Interest in evaluating alternative products of natural origin for disinfectant use has increased. However, there is a lack of information regarding the effects of biosurfactants and organic acids on Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis, Escherichia coli, and Campylobacter jejuni biofilms, mainly considering temperatures found in environments of poultry processing, as well as simulating the contact times used for disinfection.

Bacterial community identification in poultry carcasses using high-throughput next generation sequencing.

Poultry products are susceptible to contamination by pathogenic and spoilage bacteria during the slaughtering process. Molecular techniques have been used to assist in the identification of microorganisms in various microbiomes. The aim of this study was to identify bacterial components of the microbiome in poultry carcasses during the slaughter process, using high-throughput next generation sequencing (HT-NGS).

Antimicrobial activity of copper surfaces against biofilm formation by Salmonella Enteritidis and its potential application in the poultry industry.

As a consequence of developing antimicrobial resistance to disinfectants, copper, which exhibits antimicrobial activity, has been studied as a possible alternative to the use of stainless steel surfaces. The aim was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of copper surfaces in preventing biofilm formation by Salmonella Enteritidis and to determine their corrosive capacity. Strains of S.
