Abstract: Foodborne pathogens have acquired the ability to produce biofilms to survive in hostile environments. This study evaluated biofilm formation, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and heavy metal tolerance of bacteria isolated from dairy and non-dairy food products. We aseptically collected and processed 200 dairy and non-dairy food specimens in peptone broth, incubated them overnight at 37 °C, and sub-cultured them on various culture media. Bacterial growth was identified with biochemical tests and API 20E and 20NE… Show more

“…The occurrence of metal tolerant foodborne pathogens has been reported by multiple studies. It is accepted that an antimicrobial co-resistance and cross-resistance phenomena (resistance borne by adjacent genetic markers in mobile genome such as integrons and the multiple-resistance physiological mechanisms related to one genetic marker, respectively) may be screened by a toxic metal tolerance [ 36 , 37 , 38 ]. Nonetheless, the lack of technical standards for such experimental designs hinders a data comparison.…”

“…Processing of production shops with formulations based on low molecular weight antibiotics may not lead to the desired result, since some biocides have low adhesion to the treated surfaces and, as a result, require frequent renewal. In addition, bacteria can rapidly develop resistance to low molecular weight biocides [5,6]. Polymers have proven themselves as new antibacterial functional coatings.…”

“…Out of an estimated 16million deaths recorded annually, 65-80% of these cases are linked to bacterial communities that proliferate by forming biofilms [14][15][16][17]. Biofilm-linked persistent infections are difficult to treat due to resident MDR microbes as well as the numerous and complex survival strategies utilized [18][19][20][21][22]. The communication of individual cells for the formation of biofilms is fundamental; therefore, blocking this quorum sensing (QS) process is an important goal for the control of biofilm infections and represents a new method of combating antimicrobial resistance [23,24].…”
