Multi-species biofilms are ubiquitous worldwide and are a concern in the food industry. Multi-species biofilms have a higher resistance to antimicrobial therapies than mono-species biofilms. In addition, multi-species biofilms can cause severe foodborne diseases. To remove multi-species biofilms, controlling the formation process of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and quorum sensing (QS) effects is essential. EPS disruption, inhibition of QS, and disinfection have been utilized to remove multi-species biofilms. This review presents information on the formation and novel removal methods for multi-species biofilms.
多物种生物膜在全球范围内普遍存在，是食品工业关注的问题。多物种生物膜比单物种生物膜具有更高的抗抗菌治疗的抗性。此外，多物种生物膜会导致严重的食源性疾病。为了去除多物种生物膜，控制细胞外聚合物物质（EPS）和群体感应（QS）效应的形成过程是必不可少的。已经利用 EPS 破坏、QS 抑制和消毒来去除多物种生物膜。本综述介绍了多物种生物膜的形成和新型去除方法的信息。
