Biofilm contamination in the food industry: Review of scientific knowledge and industrial experiences 

realco-poultry-meat-food-industryBiofilm: a main concern of the food industry

The food and beverage industry is confronted daily with a recurring threat of production sites: the prevention and eradication of biofilms (nests of bacteria protected by an organic matrix). Biofilms are 1,000 times more resistant to biocides than planktonic (free) cells and there are 1,000 to 10,000 times more bacteria growing in a biofilm rather than as planktonic cells. Biofilms therefore represent a major risk for the quality of the final products, as well as for the public health and economy.
