Reduction of the attachment, survival and growth of L. monocytogenes on lettuce leaves by UV-C stress

Mild stress of leafy greens by UV-C radiation has been reported to stimulate plant defences capable of reducing pathogens on produce surfaces. In this study, the attachment, survival and growth of Listeria monocytogenes was investigated on lettuces stressed with mild UV-C radiation (1.3 and 2.6 kJm−...

Zusammenfassung:Mild stress of leafy greens by UV-C radiation has been reported to stimulate plant defences capable of reducing pathogens on produce surfaces. In this study, the attachment, survival and growth of Listeria monocytogenes was investigated on lettuces stressed with mild UV-C radiation (1.3 and 2.6 kJm−2). Attachment of L. monocytogenes to UV-C stressed (1.3 kJm−2) lettuce leaves after 1 h was significantly (p
