Dishwashing sponges and brushes

File drying_survival_cleaning contain data on drying (water content) of new sponges and brushes, survival of Salmonella, Campylobacter and food/kitchen bacteria on new sponges and brushes in a laboratory model system, and reduction of bacteria during different cleaning methods of sponges and brushes. File Bacteriota contains data on relative abundance of bacteria (16SrDNA based) on new sponges and brushes from a seven day laboratoty model experiment File Survey_data...contains data from a webbased survey of 9966 European consumers. The dataset is a subset of data related to usage information of Kitchen brushes and sponge

Bacterial levels and diversity in kitchen sponges and dishwashing brushes used by consumers

Data on bacterial levels and bacteriota results from sponges and brushes used by consumers. There are also data on usage information on the brushes and sponges reported by consumers.The Excel file "Brushes and sponges" contains information about usage information on sponges and brushes as well as total bacterial counts and Salmonella counts. These are the data used in Table 2 and Table 4 in the article in Journal of Applied Microbiology by Møretrø et.al. with the same title as this dataset.The Excel files "Run1_Norwegian" and "Run2_Portuguese, contain background data for microbiota analysis for Norwegian sponges and brushes and Portuguese sponges, respectively, and refer to data presented in Figure 1 and 2 and in Table 3 in the article in Journal of Applied Microbiology by Møretrø et.al. with the same title as this dataset.THIS DATASET IS ARCHIVED AT DANS/EASY, BUT NOT ACCESSIBLE HERE.
