TABLE 2.

Effect of leaf tissue damage on the recovery of C. jejuni strain 1221 from inoculated spinach plants

No. of days after inoculation	% of leaves with detectable C. jejunia
	Healthy leaves	Wounded leaves
0	100	100
2	80	100
3	80	100
6	40	90
9	0	20

^aValues represent percentages of leaves from the total sampled leaves on which C. jejuni was detected by plating onto CCAS. The spinach plants were incubated at 10°C after inoculation.
