Abstract

Bacterial hazards on contaminated surfaces in food-processing environments pose significant food safety risks. Hygiene monitoring of surfaces in direct or indirect contact with food typically relies on a limited set of bacterial indicators, such as Enterobacteriaceae counts. However, their genomic diversity remains poorly characterized. This study provides a comprehensive genomic characterization of Enterobacteriaceae recovered from food-contact surfaces after cleaning and disinfection with biocides in foodservice units.
