Data from: Impact of Improved Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures on Microbial Populations at Three Tree Fruit Packing Facilities

This dataset is associated with the publication "Impact of Improved Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures on Microbial Populations at Three Tree Fruit Packing Facilities" (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfp.2024.100436). The goal of this study was to assess the effect of three sanitation standard operating procedures (SSOPs) on microbial populations on non-food-contact surfaces in three tree fruit packing facilities. ASV_16s.csv contains amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) for bacteria and ASV_ITS.csv contains amplicon sequence variants for fungi. Microbiological_data.csv contains the following data for individual samples: sample ID, collection data, facility from which a sample was collected, sanitation treatment applied in a facility, sample collection time (before or after sanitation), study year, sample collection site, log10 CFU/swab of aerobic plate count (APC), log10 CFU/swab of Listeria, log10 CFU/swab of Listeria monocytogenes, and enrichment result (positive or negative).
