Activity of Bacteriophage and Complex Tannins against Biofilm-Forming Shiga Toxin-Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> from Canada and South Africa

Bacteriophages, natural killers of bacteria, and plant secondary metabolites, such as condensed tannins, are potential agents for the control of foodborne pathogens. The first objective of this study evaluated the efficacy of a bacteriophage SA21RB in reducing pre-formed biofilms on stainless-steel...
