“…By contrast, studies on Salmonella and Listeria attachment to animal (chicken, beef, pork) food surfaces (Benedict, Schultz, & Jones, 1991;Chung, Dickson, & Crouse, 1989;Notermans & Kampelmacher, 1974;Dickson & Macneil, 1991) have been conducted since the 1970s. More recently studies on the attachment of these bacteria to fruits (Pao & Davis, 2001), vegetables (Barak, Whitehand, & Charkowski, 2002;Ells & Hansen, 2006;Garrood, Wilson, & Brocklehurst, 2004;Gorski, Palumbo, & Mandrell, 2003;Iturriaga, Escartin, Beuchat, & Martinez-Peniche, 2003) and fish (Kim & Marshall, 2001;Kim & Marshall, 2002;Verhaegh, Marshall, & Oh, 1996) have been reported. Although information on the attachment of Salmonella and Listeria to shrimp is very limited, we speculate that the process is similar to that associated with meat and plant products.…”
