摘要: Aims:  The goal of this study was to determine whether any specific bacterial processes (biochemical or genetic) cell surface moieties were required for the interaction between Escherichia coli O157:H7 and lettuce plant tissue. Methods Results: Escherichia FluospheresTM (fluorescent polystyrene microspheres) used in experiments investigate interactions with lettuce. as they are a nonbiological material, similar size shape cell, but lack ability respond genetically. Live glutaraldehyde-killed E. attached at levels c. 5·8 log10 cells per cm2 following immersion pieces into suspension containing 8 log10 CFU ml−1. In separate experiment, numbers bacteria associated decreased by 1·5 log cm−2 1-min wash. Exposure times 1 min, 1 h, 6 h had little effect on level attachment FluospheresTM, live killed tissue. Significance:  These results indicate that not initial tissue.
