Abstract
Food spoilage bacteria with potential pathogenicity have posed a significant threat to the food processing sector. One of the most notable properties of pathogens is to form biofilm that leads to increased resistance against conventional methods of treatment. Many scientific data highlight the promising potential of using essential oil as anti-biofilm agent against the food industry as it is a plant based product having novel therapeutic components. The current literature suggests that the anti-virulence properties of natural products are prioritised over their antibacterial activities. The focus of this study is on biofilm, quorum sensing mechanisms of food-borne pathogens, as well as the use of essential oils as anti-biofilm agents against some of the major food borne pathogens. The study suggests that essential oil has effects on biofilm producing microorganisms and their eradication.
