Augmented Diagnostics with Pathogen Genomics App for Better Understanding of Listeria monocytogenes contaminations in the salmon production.
A ready-to-eat salmon producer was experiencing recurring contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a common pathogen in salmon products. Testing for this contaminant is especially important in smoked salmon, as it is a ready-to-eat food and susceptible to contamination risks.
While Listeria contamination is generally manageable, the persistence of a single strain over time can pose a significant issue. Recognizing this, the company sought to gain a deeper understanding of the sources of contamination and the microbiome associated with their products.
bioMérieux used PATHOGEN GENOMICS APP, Whole Genome Sequencing solution (WGS) for strain typing and better understanding of pathogen contaminations.
