V. parahaemolyticus has a number of advantages leading to biofilm formation. This study reviews recent advances in understanding V. parahaemolyticus biofilm formation on biotic and abiotic surfaces, discusses research gaps in the mechanism of biofilm formation and examines promising biofilm control strategies to overcome current limitations of chemical disinfectant. This information will deepen our understanding of V. parahaemolyticus biofilm formation, as well as help design and optimize V. parahaemolyticus biofilm control strategies for the seafood industry.9 pagesen© 2022 The Authors.
