Understanding E. coli internalization in lettuce leaves for optimization of irradiation treatment

Salmonella and Escherichia coli O157:H7 Survival in Soil and Translocation into Leeks (Allium porrum) as Influenced by an Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus (Glomus intraradices)

“…Though studies conducted in relation to the translocation, internalization, and persistence of food-borne pathogens in produce grown in contaminated soil have been conducted (e.g., [19][20][21][24][25][26][27][28], to our knowledge, no comparative analyses of pathogen contamination as influenced by AM fungi have been published.…”

“…Studies examining the internalization, translocation, and persistence of food-borne pathogens in produce, as well as in crop soil, have been reported (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28). Jiang and Shepherd (29) stated that the survival and growth of enteric bacteria introduced from manure may be affected by organic compounds released via plant roots or from microorganisms within the rhizosphere, and suggested that the persistence of enteric pathogens in the rhizosphere is the result of interaction among pathogens, soil microbes, soil, and plant roots.…”

Interacciones entre Escherichia coli O157:H7 y Plantas Comestibles. ¿Se han Desarrollado Mecanismos de Internalización Bacteriana?

“…Once the bacteria are inside the plant, following closure of the guard cells, they are protected from most superficial sanitisers (Gomes et al, 2009). Hence, special health risks are created when a human pathogen is able to enter the plant tissues (Deering et al, 2012;Warriner et al, 2003 a, b), since it is protected from washing and from many industrial sanitisers .…”

“…Una vez que las bacterias se encuentran dentro de la planta, y las células de guarda se cierran, las bacterias quedan protegidas de la mayoría de los sanitizantes superficiales (Gomes et al, 2009). Por lo tanto, mientras un patógeno posee la capacidad de entrar en los tejidos vegetales, los riesgos a la salud humana están latentes (Deering et al, 2012;Warriner et al, 2003a, b) puesto que el patógeno está protegido del proceso de lavado y de muchos desinfectantes industriales (Burnett y Beuchat, 2000).…”

Occurrence of ingression of Salmonella spp. in Betel leaf (Piper betle L.)

“…Foodborne illnesses with linkage to consumption of contaminated fresh products (such as betel leaf ) is increasing and becoming a significant food safety issue worldwide nowadays (Gomes et al 2009;Gorny 2006). Contamination can occur at any stage of production such as pre-harvest or post-harvest (Semenov et al 2010;Goldberg et al 2011;Bernstein 2011).…”
