Brochothrix campestris
Bacterium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brochothrix campestris is bacteria involved in the spoilage of meat. When it grows in food, the metabolic activities result in the production of metabolites associated with off-odors.[3] B. campestris was first described in 1988 and was named from the Latin adjective campestris meaning field, campestris – from the field, because B. ’campestris was originally isolated from a soil sample.[2] Compared to the closely related B. thermosphacta, B. campestris is very rarely found from food samples.[4]
