Abstract
The potential of using commercial peroxyacetic acid (PAA) for Vibrio parahaemolyticus sanitization was evaluated. Commercial PAA of 0.005 % (v/v, PAA: 2.24 mg/L, hydrogen peroxide: 11.79 mg/L) resulted in a planktonic cell reduction of >7.00 log10 CFU/mL when initial V. parahaemolyticus cells averaged 7.64 log10 CFU/mL. For cells on stainless steel coupons, treatment of 0.02 % PAA (v/v, PAA: 8.96 mg/L, hydrogen peroxide: 47.16 mg/L) achieved >5.00 log10 CFU/cm2 reductions in biofilm cells for eight strains but not for the two strongest biofilm formers. PAA of 0.05 % (v/v, PAA: 22.39 mg/L, hydrogen peroxide: 117.91 mg/L) was required to inactivate >5.00 log10 CFU/cm2 biofilm cells from mussel shell surfaces. The detection of PAA residues after biofilm treatment demonstrated that higher biofilm production resulted in higher PAA residues (p < 0.05), suggesting biofilm is acting as a barrier interfering with PAA diffusing into the matrices. Based on the comparative analysis of genomes, robust biofilm formation and metabolic heterogeneity within niches might have contributed to the variations in PAA resistance of V. parahaemolyticus biofilms.
