How Listeria monocytogenes can survive in extreme environmental conditions
It is difficult to eliminate L. monocytogenes from post processing contamination of food production lines since this pathogen is common in various environments outside processing plants, and can endure in food processing environments. It is one of the main concerns in environmental monitoring due to its ability to survive strict cleaning conditions and remain in the plant environment for months or even years. Listeria monocytogenes has better survival ability than most other food pathogens, resulting in the colonization of Listeria in food processing environment. L. monocytogenes is capable of adapting to a variety of stress conditions, including pH variations, cold temperature, low water activity,...
