Abstract
The presence of multidrug-resistant Salmonella in vegetables is a significant public health concern. Multidrug-resistant Salmonella strains were isolated from raw tomatoespurchased in public markets in Mexico and challenged with roselle Hibiscus sabdariffa calyxextracts, sodium hypochlorite and acetic acid. On tomatoes, the extracts caused a greater reduction inthe concentration of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella strains than sodium hypochlorite and acetic acid.Roselle calyx extracts are a potentially useful addition to disinfection procedures of raw tomatoes in thefield, processing plants, restaurants and homes
