Fates of attached E. coli o157:h7 on intact leaf surfaces revealed leafy green susceptibility
Food Microbiol. 2024 May;119:104432. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2023.104432. Epub 2023 Nov 28.ABSTRACTLeafy greens, especially lettuce, are repeatedly linked to foodborne outbreaks. This paper studied the susceptibility of different leafy greens to human pathogens. Five commonly consumed leafy greens, including romaine lettuce, green-leaf lettuce, baby spinach, kale, and collard, were selected by their outbreak frequencies. The behavior of E. coli O157:H7 87-23 on intact leaf surfaces and in their lysates was investigated. Bacterial attachment was positively correlated with leaf surface roughness and affected by the epicuticular wa...

Foodborne Viruses and Somatic Coliphages Occurrence in Fresh Produce at Retail from Northern Mexico
This study aimed to establish the occurrence and correlation of foodborne viruses and somatic coliphages in leafy greens in northern Mexico. A total of 320 vegetable samples were collected, resulting in 80 composite rinses, 40 of lettuce and 40 of parsley. Somatic coliphages were determined using the EPA 1602 method, while foodborne viruses (HAV, RoV, NoV GI, and GII) were determined by qPCR. The occurrence of RoV was 22.5% (9/40, mean 2.11 log gc/g) in lettuce and 20% (8/40, mean 1.91 log gc/g) in parsley. NoV and HAV were not detected in any samples. Somatic coliphages were present in all lettuce and parsley samples, wit...

The use of Phasmarhabditis nematodes and metabolites of Xenorhabdus bacteria in slug control
AbstractMany species of slugs are considered serious pests in agriculture and horticulture around the world. In Europe, slugs of the generaArion andDeroceras are the most harmful pests in agriculture. Therefore, the main goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of the whole-cell metabolites of 10 strains of fiveXenorhabdus and three slug-parasitic nematodes (Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita, Phasmarhabditis bohemica, and Phasmarhabditis apuliae) on the feeding behaviour and repellent effect on target slugs and evaluate a new possible means of biocontrol of these pests. The repellent and anti-feedant effects of nematode-k...

Phytotoxicity assessment of treated vegetable oily wastewater via environmentally coagulation/flocculation and membrane filtration technologies using lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seeds
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Jan 4. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-31594-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present investigation highlights the necessity of monitoring some basic physico-chemical water quality indicators and their phytotoxic effect using ecotoxicological bioassays such as "seed germination tests." The phytotoxicity of raw and treated vegetable oil refinery wastewater (VORW) using different treatment processes was assessed through some physiological responses (relative seed germination (RSG), seedling elongation, and germination index (GI)) using Lactuca sativa cultivar. Biotest results of different raw wat...
