ABSTRACT

 

Ghazani HHM, Karim G,  Effect of sodium hypochlorite and iodophors on Escherichia coli biofilm. Onl J Vet Res, 30 (8): 481-488, 2026. We report formation of Escherichia coli O111 biofilm in contact with milk treated with sodium hypochlorite and iodophors. E. coli O111 formed biofilm on the rubber surfaces in the presence of milk to a density of 9.10 ± 0.15 log cfu/cm2. Exposing these biofilms to either sodium hypochlorite or iodophor sanitizers, reduced 1-2 log cfu/cm2 in viable E.coli O111.
