Salmonella enterica is a bacteria that can cause illness in humans, such as vomiting and diarrhea. It has been found that Salmonella can survive on the surface of healthy plant leaves with the help of plant-eating insects and phytobacteria that cause plant diseases. These insects can transport Salmonella from one plant to another, while phytobacteria create an environment that allows Salmonella to enter leaves and find protection. This combination of Salmonella and its "friends" on crops can lead to contaminated produce and potential disease in humans. Jeri, an expert in agriculture, is available to provide practical solutions and information to farmers and consumers. She can be contacted at barak@plantpath.wisc.edu for further assistance.
