Introduction: The presence of Clostridioides difficile in water, soil, fertilizers, and animal feces suggests the potential existence of C. difficile in foods that come into contact with these sources or become contaminated through indirect means.
Material & Method: A total of 431 samples, consisting of spinach and carrots and raw milk and cheese obtained from cows, goats, buffalo, and sheep, were examined for the presence of C.
The removal of C. difficile inoculated on fresh spinach leaves washed with antimicrobial solutions was investigated. In addition, the effect of washing solutions on the total aerobic mesophilic bacteria (TAMB) and Enterobacteriaceae in the fresh spinach was examined.

- Antibiotic resistance genes can easily spread among bacteria in biofilms, which are common in dairy equipment.
- The study examined 92 Enterobacterales isolates from raw milk, identifying several bacterial species and assessing their resistance to carbapenem antibiotics and ability to form biofilms.
- While 6.5% showed carbapenem resistance, none had specific resistance genes; about 97.8% were capable of forming biofilms, and some showed similarities in protein spectra.
