Persistence of pathogens in the food chain #ASMGM

It is widely recognized that certain foodborne pathogens may persist in at least some sources of the food chain, while others may persist in different sources along the entire food chain.  Watch Angelika Lehner, University of Zurich, Switzerland, and Martin Wiedmann, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, discuss on two specific pathogens, Listeria monocytogenes and Enterbacter sakazakii, and the unique mechanisms by which they continue to stubbornly persist in the food chain.
