Potential of Carvacrol and Thymol in Reducing Biofilm Formation on Technical Surfaces

Potential of Carvacrol and Thymol in Reducing Biofilm Formation on Technical Surfaces

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and stainless steel (SS) are commonly used in medicine and food production technologies. During contact with microorganisms on the surface of these materials, a microbial biofilm is formed. The biofilm structure is difficult to remove...
