- While leafy greens are nutritionally rich, raw greens are also a significant source of foodborne illnesses. From 2014 to 2018, there were 51 foodborne disease outbreaks reported to the CDC linked to leafy greens, but the actual number of illnesses is likely much higher because more foodborne illnesses are not part of a recognized outbreak. Imagine you are a researcher interested in studying the microbial community on leafy greens from many different commercial sources. →You notice that many of the species identified are capable of forming biofilms. You hypothesize that biofilm formation is also important for causing foodborne illnesses. What features of biofilms would make them important in causing foodborne illness from leafy greens?
