20.500.12556/RUL-134185 Anti-adhesion activity of phytochemicals to prevent Campylobacter jejuni biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces Biofilms provide a protective environment for pathogens such as Campylobacter jejuni, the most prevalent foodborne pathogen, and biofilm formation can enhance bacterial survival in hostile environments. Adhesion of bacteria to the different materials of industrial surfaces is the first step in biofilm formation. Modulation of bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation thus represent important targets in alternative control strategies for reduction of pathogens in food-processing environments. With the high prevalence of C. jejuni and the lack of effective control measures, new control strategies are needed to block adhesion and biofilm formation on food contact surfaces in the food industry, with a focus here on natural antimicrobial phytochemicals. Plants remain a poorly recognized yet vast source of such antimicrobials. Valuable phytochemicals can be obtained directly from plant materials but also from agro-food by-products and waste materials. These materials represent a source of important plant bioactive phytochemicals that are effective for prevention of bacterial adhesion. In this review, we will focus on the anti-adhesion activities of phytochemicals targeted against C. jejuni, on the appropriate methodologies to determine anti-adhesion effects of phytochemicals, on the mechanisms of C. jejuni adhesion, and thus possible targets for reduction and control of this foodborne pathogen in food processing environments. bioactive phytochemicals anti-adhesion target mechanism Campylobacter jejuni Abiotic surface patogeni mikroorganizmi Campylobacter jejuni bakterijski biofilmi protiadhezijska učinkovitost rastlinski ekstrakti ekstrakti gob true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-12-28 09:00:02 2021-12-28 09:00:03 2022-09-13 03:53:47 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 Str. 55-84 Vol. 20 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 579.24/.26:547.9 1568-7767 10.1007/s11101-020-09669-6 5176952 RAZ_Klancnik_Anja_2021.pdf RAZ_Klancnik_Anja_2021.pdf 1 C6C846227ECC77BDF51D63C19AFA084A a79528ac465b3f35570202066e44af285e07a92539722ef746e7e475016dd762 03dfdb22-67b5-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=152520 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs11101-020-09669-6 0 fa072c1e-67b4-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=152519 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
