Abstract excerpt
The increase in the consumption of fresh produce has correlated with a rise in the number of reported foodborne illnesses. To identify potential risk factors associated with postharvest practices, the present study employed multilocus sequence typing (MLST) for the genotypic classification of Escherichia coli isolates recovered from three sources sampled at seven operational stages in a cantaloupe packinghouse in...
