Data from: The composition of environmental microbiota in three tree fruit packing facilities changed over seasons and contained taxa indicative of L. monocytogenes contamination

Data for: "The composition of environmental microbiota in three tree fruit packing facilities changed over seasons and contained taxa indicative of L. monocytogenes contamination" (https://doi.org/10.1186/s40168-023-01544-8).

Environmental surface swabs were collected from three tree fruit packing facilities over two seasons (2017/18, 2018/19) to investigate the prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes and to identify microbiota associated with Listeria monocytogenes contamination. Data is provided for the culture-based analysis of Listeria monocytogenes presence in samples, as well as for bacterial and fungal microbiota composition. W indicates the week of a sample collection, F indicates the facility from which a sample was collected, Lm + or - indicates the presence or absence of Listeria monocytogenes in a sample, Y indicates the first or the second year/season in which a sample was collected, and wash/dry/wax indicate the packing line area from which a sample was collected.
