TL;DR: Results indicate that EO gases that showed antilisterial activities on a laboratory medium also exhibited reduced lethal activity on the surface of radish sprouts, useful when developing strategies to inactivate L. monocytogenes and possibly other foodborne pathogens on sprouts and perhaps other foods using EO gas.

TL;DR: The ability of the pathogen to grow on high-moisture nutmeats and some of the inedible components of pecans emphasizes the importance of controlling or limiting the time pecants are exposed to water in preharvest and postharvest environments.

TL;DR: The survival and growth characteristics of Salmonella enterica in sound and chill‐injured tomatoes as influenced by co‐infection with proteolytic moulds are determined.

TL;DR: The use of EGFP to tag E. coli O157:H7 may not be appropriate for investigations seeking to microscopically differentiate viable and dead cells on produce following surface treatment with sanitizers, and SYTOX Green in combination with Alexa Fluor 594 is preferred to detect the total number of cells on apple surfaces following treatment withsanitizers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and validated a treatment to inactivate Escherichia coli O157:H7 on radish seeds without decreasing seed viability using aqueous ClO 2 followed by drying and dry heat treatments.
