The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to summarize the available scientific evidence on the prevalence of colistin-resistant strains isolated from foods and food-producing animals, the mobile colistin-resistant genes involved, and the impact of the associated variables. A systematic review was carried out in databases according to selection criteria and search strategies established . Random-effect meta-analysis models were fitted to estimate the prevalence of colistin-resistant and to identify the factors associated with the outcome.

Aims: To evaluate the biofilm-forming capacity of thermotolerant Campylobacter (TC) strains from poultry production and to analyse the inhibitory capacity of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP5 against TC on different materials.

Methods And Results: Biofilm-forming capacity by Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli was analysed by cell adhesion in polystyrene plates. TC were classified as non-biofilm-forming (NBF, 1.

The meta-analysis aim was to confirm and quantifying the influence of starter cultures on microbiological and physical-chemical parameters of dry-fermented sausages at the end fermentation stage. The literature search yielded 1194 citations, and 77 studies with 178 experiments were eligible and included in the meta-analysis, a random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled weighted mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI).The use of starter culture in dry-fermented sausages significantly reduced pH (MD: -0.
