Meat safety plays a critical role i

Meat safety plays a critical role in the health of consumers,
food industry and economy [1]. Pork is highly desirable,
palatable, readily digestible and nutritious for all ages.
However, pork is readily contaminated, and it can serve as
a substrate for various spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms
due to its high water content and abundance of
essential nutrients [2]. Therefore, the contamination by
bacterial pathogens is an important factor for pork safety.
The incidence of foodborne diseases of pork has been
rising in both the developed world and the developing
countries [1].
