Abstract excerpt
Some species of the genus Arcobacter are considered to be emerging food pathogens. With respect to recent vegetable-borne outbreaks, the aim of this work was to investigate the occurrence and diversity of Arcobacter within the production chain of a spinach-processing plant by a combination of cultivation and molecular methods. Samples including spinach, water, and surface biofilm were taken over a period of three...
