Persistent biofilms problematic in aquaculture, food processing
Resistant to antibacterial agents and heat, biofilms are difficult to remove from food-processing surfaces and may result in persistent pathogen populations.

Bacterial, chemical residues impact tilapia quality
Both bacterial pathogens and chemical residues can affect the quality of farmed tilapia products. In production systems, Vibrio bacteria quickly proliferate following disease outbreaks.

Aquaculture working group standardizes methods for bacteria testing
Methods and quality control ranges for bacteria testing, defined in studies by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, will ensure data precision and inter-laboratory harmonization.

Bacterial pathogens in biofilms pose health risks in recirculating systems
Recirculating aquaculture presents an increased potential for pathogenic bacteria to become established in the system through the formation of biofilms.
