Occurrence, distribution and diversity of Listeria monocytogenes contamination on beef and pig carcasses after slaughter Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
In this study we investigated the prevalence and location of Listeria monocytogenes and hygiene indicator bacteria on beef and pig carcasses. Carcasses were sampled after slaughter and before cooling at eight and nine sites on the carcass, respectively. For each sample, detection and enumeration of Listeria was performed, as well as the enumeration of Total Aerobic Counts (TAC) and Enterobacteriaceae. The L. monocytogenes isolates were also ...

Genetic Listeria monocytogenes Types in the Pork Processing Plant Environment : From Occasional Introduction to Plausible Persistence in Harborage Sites KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
The purpose of this study was to investigate the L. monocytogenes occurrence and genetic diversity in three Belgian pork cutting plants. We specifically aim to identify harborage sites and niche locations where this pathogen might occur. A total of 868 samples were taken from a large diversity of food and non-food contact surfaces after cleaning and disinfection (C&D) and during processing. A total of 13% (110/868) of environmental ...
