| Summary: | Mexico has an extensive infrastructure that
has positioned it as a power vegetable producer exporter.
However, the use of wastewater represents a potential
risk to agriculture, economy and human health,
since they are used without due precautions as applied
in crop irrigation. In this sense, potential methods for
diagnosis have been developed, such as microbiological
and molecular methods, which are used for the rapid detection
of Samonella and E. coli in minimally processed
vegetables. Further studies are needed to determine a
threshold dose of pathogens in the water and to correlate
the risk that tends to cause pollution of a crop and the
specified edible parts of the vegetables marketed in the
interior and outside of Mexico.
