| dc.description.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 characterised. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive genomic characterisation of Enterobacteriaceae recovered from food-contact surfaces after cleaning and disinfection with biocides in foodservice units. Diverse strains were identified, with some STs shared across samples and/or foodservices. - A diverse Enterobacteriaceae population persists on food-contact surfaces even after cleaning and disinfection with biocides, with evidence of cross-contamination. - These surfaces represent critical points of contact for strains that are genetically similar to those circulating in food, environment, and human clinical sources, including strains carrying clinically relevant AMR genes. - Further research is needed to understand the factors driving their persistence and dissemination in foodservice environments, aiming to enhance food safety risk management protocols and protect public health. | eng |
