Resumo(s): | [Excerpt] Bacteria possess remarkable adaptability, and their escalating resistance to antibiotics poses a formidable challenge to public health. Thus, the exploration of alternative strategies becomes essential in addressing surface contamination by bacteria. To develop effective preventive measures, it is crucial to comprehend the mechanisms underlying bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation[1,2]. Although approaches like surface coatings and chemical treatments have been used to inhibit bacterial attachment and biofilm development, these methods often exhibit limitations in terms of durability and potential environmental concerns[1]. While acknowledging the drawbacks of current methodologies, the pursuit of novel approaches remains imperative. Additionally, the use of contaminated footwear soles significantly contributes to the dissemination of microbial agents, necessitating a comprehensive investigation into alternative methodologies for reducing surface contamination[3].
