Cell recovery and DNA extraction methods skew relative abundance estimations of foodborne pathogens and spoilage organisms on stainless steel surfaces
2025-11-04
Abstract excerpt
Studies investigating surface microbiota in food facilities often include estimates of relative abundance. However, obtaining accurate relative abundance values can be challenging. Differences among microbes can lead to different degrees of cell recovery from the surface and different DNA extraction yields that skew downstream relative abundance estimates. Here, we evaluated (1) the impact of cell recovery from su...
