distribution of mesophilic aeromonas species in raw and ready-to-eat fish and meat products in switzerland.	a total of 829 poultry, meat, shellfish and fish products commonly consumed in switzerland were qualitatively and quantitatively examined for the presence of mesophilic aeromonas spp. overall, aeromonads occurred in 24.1% of the samples. raw food products were frequently contaminated (e.g. 94.1% in minced meat), with colony counts up to 6.0 x 10(6)/g. some ready-to-eat products had a relatively high percentage of positive samples as well, such as cooked ham in slices (38.2%), mortadella (12.9%), ...	1993	8268055
multiplex pcr detection of enterotoxin genes in aeromonas spp. from suspect food samples in northern taiwan.	aeromonads possess an array of virulence factors and are causative agents of a number of human infections. among them, genes of one cytotoxic (act) and two cytotonic (alt, ast) enterotoxins are implicated in a human diarrheal disease. a rapid, specific, simultaneous detection of these enterotoxin genes in suspected food poisoning samples is not yet reported. hence, a multiplex pcr assay was designed to amplify the cytotoxic (act), heat-labile cytotonic (alt), and heat-stable cytotonic (ast) ente ...	2008	18939759
