Clever Cooperation: Interactions Between EspF and Host Proteins.

abstract：:Fresh vegetables including baby greens, microgreens, and sprouts can host human pathogens without exhibiting any visible signs of spoilage. It is clear that the vast majority of foodborne disease outbreaks associated with vegetable produce are not simply a result of an oversight by a producer, as it was shown that zoo...
