Foodborne pathogen species detected in retail meat rinse samples. (a) The species and relative abundance of six common foodborne pathogen species were determined from full-length LoopSeq 16S sequencing of six retail meat samples. Campylobacter and Listeria monocytogenes did not appear in these samples. (b) Nine distinct alleles of the 16S rRNA gene were detected in the C. perfringens strain present in sample GT1. The first allele was present at roughly twice the abundance of the others, consistent with it having two copies in the genome while the rest have only one copy. C. perfringens has 10 copies of the 16S rRNA gene in its genome. Only the V2 region is shown for visual simplicity
