- ArticleLazarus CR, Abu-Bakar A, West RL, Oblinger JL.Appl Environ Microbiol. 1977 Jan;33(1):217-8.When a tissue removal rinse technique was compared to the moist-swab contact method, significantly greater numbers of bacteria were recovered from beef carcasses, especially when the flora exceeded log10 4.5/6.45 cm2. Secondary treatment of the removed surface tissue by blending resulted in a significantly greater number of bacteria being recovered than when the same sample was swabbed and/or rinsed. Data indicate that blending of the carcass surface tissue provides a more representative value of the true microbial flora.
