Cooked ham microbiota packed in modified atmosphere

15 cooked ham (CH) unflawed samples were analyzed at the beginning and at the end of the shelf-life, while 7 flawed ones were processed only at the date of shipment. Cultivable bacteria on MRS were clusterized through RAPD-PCR Each biotype was identified through amplification of 16S sequences. The microbiota was further characterized by metataxonomic analysis
