Produce Decontamination Assessment Protocol: Part 1 - Attachment

 

CFA has been working  with IFR on two papers regarding produce decontamination, intended for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, setting out

1. how to attach bacteria to plant surfaces

2. how to validate decontamination effects of washing

The overall aim is to introduce consistency into experimental approaches.

The first paper is available as a free digital download, which sets out a protocol for researchers to ensure that inoculated organisms are attached prior to attempted detachment, hence avoiding overstating apparent detachment. The approach was validated by IFR as part of the CFA/Defra-funded AFM234 pathogen attachment project.
