Lettuce immune responses and apoplastic metabolite profile contribute to reduced internal leaf colonization by human bacterial pathogens

Abstract Background Human bacterial pathogens such as Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli can colonize the apoplast of leafy greens, where they may evade standard sanitization measures and persist until produce consumption. Bacterial survival in this niche is influenced by plant immune response...
