摘要

Abstract The antimicrobial potential of switchgrass extractives (SE) was evaluated on cut lettuce leaves and romaine lettuce in planta, using rifampicin‐resistant Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium strain LT2 as model pathogens. Cut lettuce leaves were swabbed with E. coli O157:H7 or S. Typhimurium followed by surface treatment with 0.8 SE, 0.6 sodium hypochlorite, or water for 1 to 45 min. For in planta studies, SE was swabbed on demarcated leaf surfaces either prior to or after inoculation of greenhouse‐grown lettuce with E. coli O157:H7 or S. Typhimurium; the leaf samples were collected after 0, 24, and 48 h of treatment. Bacteria from inoculated leaves were enumerated on tryptic soy agar plates (and also on MacConkey's and XLT4 agar plates), and the recovered counts were statistically analyzed. Cut lettuce leaves showed E. coli O157:H7 reduction between 3.25 and 6.17 log CFU/leaf, whereas S. Typhimurium reductions were between 2.94 log CFU/leaf and 5.47 log CFU/leaf depending on the SE treatment durations, from initial levels of ∼7 log CFU/leaf. SE treatment of lettuce in planta, before bacterial inoculation, reduced E. coli O157:H7 and S. Typhimurium populations by 1.88 and 2.49 log CFU after 24 h and 3 h, respectively. However, SE treatment after bacterial inoculation of lettuce plants decreased E. coli O157:H7 populations by 3.04 log CFU (after 0 h) with negligible reduction of S. Typhimurium populations. Our findings demonstrate the potential of SE as a plant‐based method for decontaminating E. coli O157:H7 on lettuce during pre‐ and postharvest stages in hurdle approaches.
