Resistance to Biocides in Listeria monocytogenes Collected in Meat-Processing Environments.

abstract：:Generally, plants are not considered as hosts for human and animal pathogens (HAP). The recent produce-associated outbreaks of food-borne diseases have drawn attention toward significant deficiencies in our understanding of the ecology of HAP, and their potential for interkingdom transfer. To examine the association o...
