Microbiome-based environmental monitoring of a dairy processing facility highlights the challenges associated with low microbial-load samples
Abstract Efficient and accurate identification of microorganisms throughout the food chain can potentially allow the identification of sources of contamination and the timely implementation of control measures. High throughput DNA sequencing represents a potential means through which microbial monit...
