As the population grows, growers may need to rely on a variety of water sources to meet the increasing demand. However, these sources may be contaminated with microbial pathogens, such as Listeria monocytogenes. Understanding the pathogen's survival duration in specific water sources is crucial for understanding its impact on produce outbreaks and consumer health.
As more fresh fruits and vegetables are needed to meet the demands of a growing population, growers may need to start depending on more varied sources of water, including environmental, recycled, and reclaimed waters. Some of these sources might be susceptible to contamination with microbial pathogens, such as Listeria monocytogenes. Surveys have found this pathogen in water, soil, vegetation, and farm animal feces around the world. The frequency at which this pathogen is present in water sources is dependent on multiple factors, including the season, surrounding land use, presence of animals, and physicochemical water parameters. Understanding the survival duration of L. monocytogenes in specific water sources is important, but studies are limited concerning this environment and the impact of these highly variable factors. Understanding the pathogen's ability to remain infectious is key to understanding how L. monocytogenes impacts produce outbreaks and, ultimately, consumers' health.
