How do bacteria behave differently in the pharmaceutical industry?

Well, it has to do primarily with the nature of the systems used in production – they are typically closed loops with large quantities of purified or distilled water. Though the purification processes should have stripped the water of any viable carbon sources, bacteria can begin colonizing and forming biofilms (persistent contamination structures) for a variety of reasons:
• Low quality of pipe material
• Diameter of the pipework
• Rate of recirculation
• Dead-ends
• Shutdowns or periods of low water usage
• Inefficiencies of UV-light, steam, or ozone treatments
Rather than only slowing biofilm growth (and having inevitable hits), why not use something that prevents biofilm in the first place?

Prevention and Control of Biofilms in Pharmaceutical Water Systems Read this article to learn the validation of pharmaceutical water systems to establish pharmaceutical water purification, storage, and distribution.

There are many different types of bacteria that can contaminate food and beverages in the food industry, but here are the top 10 types of bacteria and how enzymatic cleaners can be used to prevent their growth and spread:

- Salmonella: This bacteria is commonly found in raw or undercooked meats, eggs, and dairy products.
- Listeria: Listeria can be found in deli meats, hot dogs, soft cheeses, and other products.
- E. coli: E. coli can be found in undercooked meats, raw milk, and contaminated water.
- Campylobacter: This bacterium is commonly found in poultry products.
- Clostridium perfringens: This bacterium is commonly found in meat and poultry products.
- Bacillus cereus: This bacterium is commonly found in rice, pasta, and other starchy foods.
- Staphylococcus aureus: This bacterium is commonly found on human skin and can be spread through contact with contaminated surfaces or equipment.
- Vibrio vulnificus: This bacterium is commonly found in raw oysters and other shellfish.
- Shigella: These bacteria can be found in raw produce and contaminated water.
- Yersinia enterocolitica: This bacterium is commonly found in pork products.

In summary, enzymatic cleaners can be used to prevent the growth and spread of many types of bacteria in the food and beverage industry. They can be used to clean surfaces, equipment, and other areas to prevent contamination, aid in the treatment of biofilm. By using enzymatic cleaners, the food and beverage industry can improve their overall cleaning practices and ensure the safety and quality of their products.

When Listeria contaminations occur, many facilities find themselves looking for guidance to resolve these relentless bacteria. The FDA offers a wealth of advice for standards and best practices but sometimes on-site technicians from third party sources may be helpful to bring needed insight and changes to culture, application, and bring an end to the challenges. Realzyme offers an extensive range of on-site service including, training, biofilm detection, treatment verification and much more! Contact us today to set up a visit.

2022 brought about many challenges in logistics and getting products on to store shelves. Realzyme personnel spent countless time with customers working on implementation of shelf-life extension programs which not only nearly doubled shelf life in some cases, but also reduced the use of water consumption, and reduced the high levels of caustic and chlorinated product used in plants.
