Abstract:Foodborne illnesses are relevant to public health, especially in contaminated foods that are eaten without prior cooking, such as lettuce. The objective was to evaluate the contamination by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), E. coli and Salmonella spp. in lettuce in commercial food-establishments in the city of Jataí, Goiás, Brazil. The variables were: type of crop, type of establishment and coliform count. The DNA of E. coli isolates were analyzed by PCR to the research of virulence genes. Isolate… Show more
“…The prevalence of Salmonella found in this study (8.5%) is within the range reported in other studies carried out in Brazil and other countries, which detected this pathogen in vegetable samples ranging from 0.4 to 23.1%. Nonetheless, most of these studies used only conventional (culture-based) methods [15,[53][54][55][56][57].…”
