Microplastics-Assisted Campylobacter Persistence, Virulence, and Antimicrobial Resistance in the Food Chain: An Overview

Recent studies have detected microplastics (MPs) in seafood and various food products worldwide, including poultry, fish, salt, beverages, fruits, and vegetables. This widespread contamination makes human exposure through consumption unavoidable and raises con- cerns for food safety and human health. MPs provide physical support to microorganisms for biofilm formation, protecting them from extreme conditions and facilitating their per- sistence in the environment. However, little is known...
