Abstract

The resistance developed by biofilms against disinfectants and antibiotics, which express the lifestyle of microorganism communities for acces to food and defense, has required research on the application of different methods to combat these microbial communities. Biofilm communities that live embedded in the matrix consisting of the extracellular polymeric substances they produce are strongly adhered to the surface where they are located, making it difficult to remove them from the environment. Microorganisms caused foodborne diseases can survive on surfaces by forming biofilms. Silver nanoparticles, which are particles smaller than 100 nm, have broad spectrum antibacterial activities against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria with their unique chemical and physical properties due to their large surface area volume ratio and do not cause resistance. In this study, silver nanoparticle applications which can be used against biofilms in food processing facilities were investigated.

Gıda İşletmelerinde Biyofilm Sorunu ve Gümüş Nanopartikül Uygulamaları

Abstract

Mikroorganizma topluluklarının besine ulaşım ve savunma amaçlı ortak yaşam tarzını ifade eden biyofilmlerin dezenfektan ve antibiyotiklere karşı geliştirdiği direnç, bu mikrobiyal topluluklar ile savaşmak için farklı yöntemlerin uygulanması konusunda araştırmalar yapılmasını gerektirmiştir. Ürettikleri hücre dışı polimerik maddelerden oluşan matrise gömülü olarak yaşayan biyofilm toplulukları bulundukları yüzeye güçlü bir şekilde yapıştığından ortamdan uzaklaştırılmaları güçleşmektedir. Gıda kaynaklı hastalıklara sebep olan mikroorganizmalar biyofilm oluşturarak yüzeylerde yaşamlarını sürdürebilmektedirler. Boyutları 100 nm'den küçük olan gümüş nanopartiküller geniş yüzey alanı-hacim oranlarından kaynaklanan benzersiz fiziksel ve kimyasal özellikleriyle Gram pozitif ve Gram negatif bakterilere karşı geniş spektrumlu antibakteriyel aktiviteye sahiptirler ve direnç tetiklememektedirler. Bu çalışmada gıda işletmelerinde oluşan biyofilmlere karşı kullanılabilecek gümüş nanopartikül uygulamaları incelenmiştir.
