description <i>Vibrio parahaemolyticus</i> is a human foodborne pathogen, and it can form a mature biofilm on food and food contact surfaces to enhance their resistance to antibacterial agents. In this study, the effect of anti-biofilm enzymes (combined lipase, cellulase and proteinase K) on the inhibition and eradication of pathogen biofilm was evaluated. The biofilm content of <i>V. parahaemolyticus</i> showed the highest level at the incubation time of 24 h, and the combined enzymes significantly inhibited the biofilm’s development. The biofilm’s inhibition and eradication rate at an incubation time of 24 h was 89.7% and 66.9%, respectively. The confocal laser scanning microscopic images confirmed that the microcolonies’ aggregation and the adhesion of biofilm were inhibited with the combined enzyme treatment. Furthermore, combined enzymes also decreased the concentration of exopolysaccharide (EPS) and disrupted the EPS matrix network, wherein the expression of the EPS-related gene, <i>cpsA-J</i>, was likewise suppressed. The combined enzymes showed an excellent inhibition effect of <i>V. parahaemolyticus</i> biofilm on different carriers, with the highest inhibition rate of 59.35% on nonrust steel plate. This study demonstrates that the combined enzyme of lipase, cellulase and proteinase K could be a novel candidate to overcome biofilm’s problem of foodborne pathogens in the food industry.
