Pathogenic bacteria and parasites present in edible leafy greens

Abstract

Tulsi, mint and spinach, all are examples of culinary herbs and beneficial for health. They have digestive, antibacterial and many other medicinal properties. Many people, however, have also studied and found presence of enteropathogens in such herbs and leafy greens. In the laboratory we have gone through different tests to identify the specific pathogen present on the leaves. This will be a milestone of public health research in food microbiology.
