- - The most commonly found pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus (36.6%), Escherichia coli (23.2%), and Clostridium perfringens (18%), with Vibrio cholerae absent in all samples.
- - The study highlights significant differences in contamination between FL and RTE vegetables and suggests ineffective decontamination practices during the agricultural production and handling processes in Iran.
