Quorum sensing (QS), which is a key part of cell/cell communication, is widely distributed in
microorganisms, especially in bacteria. Bacteria can produce and detect the presence of QS …

The control of bacterial contaminants on chicken meat is a key area of interest in the broiler
industry. Microbes that pose a significant food safety risk on chicken include Campylobacter …

Consumers are more conscious of both the quality and microbial safety of the food they eat.
Therefore, their demand for safe food and food products has motivated researchers to …

Listeria monocytogenes (LM) is a bacterial pathogen responsible for listeriosis, a foodborne
illness associated with high rates of mortality (20–30%) and hospitalisation. It is particularly …

The vaginal microbiome is an important aspect of women's health that changes dynamically
with various stages of the woman's life. Just like the gut microbiome, the vaginal microbiome …

Abstract Plasma-Activated Water (PAW) was generated from tap water using a surface
dielectric barrier discharge at different discharge power (26 and 36 W) and activation time (5 …

Bacteria can use chemical signals to assess their local population density in a process
called quorum sensing (QS). Many of these bacteria are common pathogens, including …

The presence of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) in the food processing environment (facilities
and products) is a challenging problem in food safety management. Lm is one of the main …

In this study, novel multilayered magnetic nanoparticles (ML-MNPs) loaded with DNase
and/or vancomycin (Vanc) were fabricated for eliminating multispecies biofilms. Iron-oxide …

Mixed‐species biofilms represent the most frequent actual lifestyles of microorganisms in
food processing environments, and they are usually more resistant to control methods than …
