Abstract excerpt
The natural contamination of foods with a bacterial pathogen frequently consists of a mixture of strains with their own characteristics of survival, growth potential and virulence. Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) must account for this genetic diversity to reflect the variability of the pathogen risk and to identify the genetic groups present at key stages of the food pathway. To describe the...
