This study aimed to detect and characterize Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) in irrigation water to help reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses. Over nearly a year, water samples (n = 1050) were collected monthly from 120 locations across four Chilean watersheds to assess the prevalence and genetic diversity of the pathogen. The average detection of L. monocytogenes across all watersheds ranged from 15 %...
