As a ubiquitous bacterium,Listeria monocytogenes has a propensity to enter food production areas inadvertently via fomites such as door handles and switches. While the bacterium might not be in direct contact with the food products, knowing the microbial status of the surroundings is essential for risk assessment. Our investigation into a novel quantitative PCR (qPCR)-based sampling system with the highest sensitivity and ability to monitor over long periods of time, yet based on paper, proved to be cost-effective and reasonably convenient to handle.
