Salmonella contamination of spinach leaf during cultivation was investigated. Salmonella Enteritidis expressing green fluorescent protein(S . Enteritidis-GFP)was used in this study. S . Enteritidis-GFP was detected from soil, which had been initially inoculated with the bacterium at more than 2 logCFU/g after 35-d cultivation. The viable S . Enteritidis-GFP counts in soil ranged from 4 to 7 logCFU/g in proportion to the initial inoculum from 2 to 8 logCFU/g after 35-d cultivation. All the 6 spinach plants were negative for S . Enteritidis-GFP by the qualitative test, when spinach had been cultivated in a soil initially contaminated with the bacterium at less than 3.8 logCFU/g. In contrast, all the 6 plants were positive for the bacterium when cultivated in a soil contaminated with more than 6.0 logCFU/g. However, the leaves of all 9 plants were negative for S . Enteritidis-GFP after surface sterilization, suggesting the surface contamination. At 7d after overhead irrigation of water contaminated with S . Enteritidis- GFP at less than 3.1 logCFU/mL, all the spinach plants were negative for the bacterium in 18 separately cultivated spinach plants.
