Differences in attachment of Salmonella enterica serovars to cabbage and lettuce leaves.
Jitendra Patel,Manan Sharma +1 more
TL;DR: Overall, S. Tennessee displayed more biofilm formation in vitro and attached more strongly to lettuce than other serovars and Salmonella spp.

Effectiveness of bacteriophages in reducing Escherichia coli O157:H7 on fresh-cut cantaloupes and lettuce.
TL;DR: This study is the first to show the effectiveness of bacteriophages to reduce E. coli O157:H7 on fresh-cut lettuce and cantaloupes and to show that cut cantaloupe populations treated with ECP-100 were significantly lower than those treated with the control.

Human enteric pathogen internalization by root uptake into food crops.
TL;DR: The potential for uptake of foodborne pathogen, both bacterial and viral, through roots into food crops is reviewed and several mechanisms of internalization of bacteria to plant roots have also been hypothesized.

A novel approach to investigate the uptake and internalization of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in spinach cultivated in soil and hydroponic medium.
Manan Sharma,David T. Ingram,Jitendra Patel,Patricia D. Millner,Xiaolin Wang,Anne E. Hull,Michael S. Donnenberg +6 more
TL;DR: Internalization of Escherichia coli O157:H7 into spinach plants through root uptake is a potential route of contamination and a Tn7-based plasmid vector was used to insert a green fluorescent protein gene into the attTn7 site in the E. coli chromosome, but these studies do not provide evidence for efficient uptake of E. bacteria from soil to internal plant tissue.

Effect of curli expression and hydrophobicity of Escherichia coli O157:H7 on attachment to fresh produce surfaces
TL;DR: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of curli expression on cell hydrophobicity, biofilm formation and attachment to cut and intact fresh produce surfaces.
