Listeria innocua, though considered non-pathogenic, frequently coexists with monocytogenes in industrial environments, aiding its survival biofilms. These biofilms pose a significant challenge food processing facilities, as they protect bacteria from disinfectants and facilitate their spread. The aim of this review was to identify bacteriophages promising method for eliminating the industry. Lytic show great potential combating Commercially available products, such PhageGuard Listex™ (P100) (Micreos Food Safety, Wageningen, Netherlands), effectively reduce both L. innocua products on production surfaces. Additionally, phage-derived enzymes, endolysins, can degrade biofilms, without compromising quality. following article highlights that although present biocontrol method, further research is necessary assess long-term effectiveness, particularly regarding bacterial resistance. To maximize efficacy, combination strategies phage cocktails recommended enhance biofilm eradication minimize contamination risks.
