A Method to Introduce Salmonella into Ground Meat and Poultry for Testing Mitigation Efforts

Illnesses related to foodborne pathogens pose a considerable economic strain on the United States annually. Among them, Salmonella enterica is responsible an estimated 1 million yearly cases of foodborne illness. Research has shown that the transfer of Salmonella from the initial animal to consumer meats occurs primarily when peripheral lymph nodes...
