Microbial contamination refers to the unwanted presence of harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites in various environments, which can lead to spoilage, disease, and health hazards. Effective prevention and control measures, including sanitation, sterilization, and monitoring, are crucial to minimize risks associated with microbial contamination in food, water, and medical settings.

Microbial Contamination

Biofilm formation is a process where microorganisms adhere to surfaces and produce extracellular polymeric substances, creating a protective environment that enhances their survival and resistance to antibiotics. This complex, multicellular structure is crucial in both natural ecosystems and medical contexts, posing challenges in infection control and industrial settings.
