Description
Matheus Mendes and co-authors pair a virus with bleach against dairy biofilms in a 2024 study. Pseudomonas bacteria spoil raw milk and shield themselves in biofilms that shrug off cleaning. A phage, a virus that kills bacteria, might weaken that shield.
Biofilms grew on steel in milk at cold and warm temperatures for up to a week. The chosen phage alone cut cell counts clearly, and longer contact added little on mature films. Bleach alone helped modestly at both temperatures. Used in sequence, the pair cut counts most, at both warm and cold settings. The authors propose the combo for food plant hygiene.
