Microbial diversity and structure are drivers of the biological barrier effect against Listeria monocytogenes in soil.

Understanding the ecology of pathogenic organisms is important in order to monitor their transmission in the environment and the related health hazards. We investigated the relationship between soil microbial diversity and the barrier effect against Listeria monocytogenes invasion. By using a diluti...
