AB  - <i>Salmonella</i> spp. is an important causal agent of
salmonellosis in humans. The control of <i>Salmonella</i> spp.
is important in eggs, since, the bacterium passes through
shell to embryo and remains in the lots of poultry that can
carry the infection to the human. Disinfection is usually
done by several sanitizers but with nanotechnology
advances, new and more efficient ways of controlling this
agent are being studied such as nanoparticles. Preliminary
studies of these nanoparticles have shown the success of
their use in the control of microorganisms. The
standardization of the ideal concentration for the use of
this nanocomposite is fundamental for optimum efficiency
in the control of <i>Salmonella</i> spp. Eggs from red
commercial laying were purchased from local trade were
used. In the laboratory, the eggs were treated with the
nanoparticles in different concentrations and after 24 h
formed the biofilm. The eggs were washed for removal of
the free bacteria and performed conventional
microbiology for isolation of <i>Salmonella</i> spp. and PCR
for identification of colonies. The aim of this study was
evaluated the effectiveness of the use of nanocomposite
of silver oxide with silver oxide doped Zinc Oxide
(ZnO:Ag-AgO) in different concentrations in the
prevention of the formation of eggshell biofilms.
