DETERMINING OPTIMAL SANITIZER EFFECTIVENESS AGAINST PATHOGENIC BACTERIAL BIOFILM COMMONLY FOUND ON MEAT PROCESSING EQUIPMENT SURFACES

Objective

To investigate the mechnisms of how the interactions among various Salmonella and STEC serotypes would affect biofilm formation on different solid surfaces, and to analyze the resistance of the single- or multi-species biofilms to various sanitizing reagents commonly used in the meat processing plants.
