Persistence of pathogenic bacteria in plants, is a major threat to human health,
especially in plants that are used in food with no heat treatment. The aim of this study
was to determine whether there is a possibility of persistence of human isolates of
Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cucumbers, cabbage, peppers and tomatoes. In cucumber
and cabbage P. aeruginosa was isolated from all 12 plants, tomato by 9 and 7 of pepper
plants. Based on the results, there is the possibility of persistence P. aeruginosa in the
above vegetables. Mogućnost perzistencije patogenih bakterija u biljkama, predstavlja veliku
opasnost po zdravlje ljudi, pogotovo kod biljaka koje se koriste u ishrani bez termičke
obrade. Cilj istraživanja bio je da se utvrdi da li postoji mogućnost perzistencije humanog
izolata Pseudomonas aeruginosa u krastavcu, kupusu, paprici i paradajzu. Pseudomonas
aeruginosa izolovan je iz svih 12 biljaka krastavca i kupusa, iz 9 paradajza i 7 paprika. Na
osnovu rezultata rada, u navedenom povrću postoji mogućnost perzistencije P.
aeruginosa.
