Biofilm jako zagrożenie w zakładach produkcji i przetwarzania żywności
Biofilm as a threat in food production and processing facilities

Summary/Abstract: The development of biofilm-forming microorganisms on usable surfaces in food production and processing facilities often results in food spoilage and poses a serious threat to public health. Particularly dangerous to human health are biofilms formed by pathogenic bacteria such as Campylobacter jejuni, pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus and yeasts of the genus Candida. The purpose of this article is to provide readers with an overview of the mechanisms of biofilm formation, the risks associated with the spread of biofilm-forming pathogens, and methods of biofilm prevention and removal in food production and processing plants.
