Fruits and vegetables consumed fresh or as minimally-processed produce, have multiple benefits for our diet. Unfortunately, they bring a risk of food-borne diseases, for example salmonellosis. Interactions between Salmonella and crop plants are indeed a raising concern for the global health. Salmonella uses multiple strategies to manipulate the host defense system, including plant's defense responses. The main focus of this review are strategies used by this bacterium during the interaction with crop plants. Emphasis was put on how Salmonella avoids the plant defense responses and successfully colonizes plants. In addition, several factors were reviewed assessing their impact on Salmonella persistence and physiological adaptation to plants and plant-related environment. The understanding of those mechanisms, their regulation and use by the pathogen, while in contact with plants, has significant implication on the growth, harvest and processing steps in plant production system. Consequently, it requires both the authorities and science to advance and definite methods aiming at prevention of crop plants contamination. Thus, minimizing and/or eliminating the potential of human diseases.

新鲜食用或作为最低限度加工的产品食用的水果和蔬菜对我们的饮食有多种好处。不幸的是，它们带来了食源性疾病的风险，例如沙门氏菌病。沙门氏菌与农作物之间的相互作用确实引起了全球健康的关注。沙门氏菌使用多种策略来操纵宿主防御系统，包括植物的防御反应。本综述的主要重点是这种细菌在与作物相互作用期间使用的策略。重点放在沙门氏菌如何避免植物防御反应并成功定殖植物上。此外，还审查了几个因素以评估它们对沙门氏菌的影响对植物和植物相关环境的持久性和生理适应。了解这些机制、病原体对它们的调节和利用，在与植物接触时，对植物生产系统中的生长、收获和加工步骤具有重要意义。因此，它需要当局和科学共同推进和确定旨在预防作物植物污染的方法。因此，最大限度地减少和/或消除人类疾病的可能性。
