Lactococcus garvieae and Morganella morganii : two bacterial models to study quality and safety of fish products

This paper reports the results obtained for two bacterial species, Lactococcus garvieae and Morganella morganii, that represent models of contaminating fish pathogens in fish products: i) molecular characterization and genetic polymorphism of L. garvieae strains coming from different food niches; ii) detection of the histamine forming M. morganii in tuna fish samples and its quantification through the development of a new real-time PCR assay.
