Human Pathogens - The Plant And Useful Endophytes

Abstract

Enteric bacteria are able to colonize plants and use them as alternative hosts. Plants as reservoirs for human enteric pathogens have considered by Holden [4]. The ability of enteric pathogens to survive for prolonged periods of time on fruits and vegetables has been described by Natvig et al. [5] and also by Gagliardi and Karns [6]. Brandl has demonstrated the schematic diagram of the various sources of contamination of fruits and vegetables with human enteric pathogens [7].
