Brevibacillus contamination in milk processing plant due to enhanced biofilm formation.

The presence of bacteria can cause milk to spoil. If it enters the processing pipeline, it can attach to equipment surfaces and has the risk of forming biofilms. Bacteria biofilms pose a substantial risk in the milk processing pipeline, jeopardizing the safety and quality of dairy production. The difficulty in effectively eradicating biofilms from the nature of complex physical structure and distinct chemical compositions. Therefore, it is crucial to identify and characterize physicochemical properties of biofilms which contaminate the milk processing environments.
