Role of curli and cellulose expression in adherence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 to spinach leaves.

Foodborne pathogens and disease - 1 Feb 2012

Macarisin Dumitru, Patel Jitendra, Bauchan Gary, Giron Jorge A, Sharma Vijay K

Abstract excerpt

Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 outbreaks have been linked to consumption of fresh produce. It is generally recognized that bacterial attachment to vegetal matrices constitutes the first step in contamination of fresh produce. Cellular appendages, such as curli fibers, and cellulose, a constituent of extracellular matrix, have been suggested to be involved in E. coli attachment and persistence in fresh...
