Two Processing Methods for the Isolation of Salmonella From
Naturally Contaminated Alfalfa Seeds  Thefollowing
research was conducted in order for researchers to be ableto
determine contamination levels in seed. Though it was not the
intention of the research, the data also shows thatpathogens can
be detected in seed with very high probabilities if enough
samplesare tested.  The highlights and underlines are mine in
order to make apoint at the end of the article.  Research Note:
