Relating growth potential and biofilm formation of Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli to in planta colonisation and the metabolome of ready- to-eat crops

B. Merget, K. J. Forbes, F. Brennan, S. P. McAteer, T. Shepherd, N. J. Strachan, N. Holden

This study examines the relationship between growth potential and biofilm formation of Shigatoxigenic E. coli in plant extracts and their ability to colonize living plants, finding that growth in sprouted seeds correlates with in planta colonization while leafy vegetables show less consistency.
