Reduced growth of <i>Salmonella enterica</i> and <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> on outdoor- vs. indoor-grown kale (<i>Brassica oleracea</i> var. <i>acephala</i>)
The ability of the pathogens to grow on outdoor- or IVHS-grown kale do not appear to be related to the microbial population structures but to the levels of indigenous bacteria. We propose that the reduced bacterial cell density on the IVHS-grown kale is the result of reduced bacterial community productivity that supplies the pathogens with space and nutrients for growth.
