Abstract

This study has evaluated the microbiological quality of the leaves of Solanum macrocarpum L. cultivated with chicken’s droppings
and water of watering. A pilot site at Glo and market-gardening sites of Houeyiho, Fidjrosse and Agongbomey were used as sites of
study. The salmonellas and fecal coliforms whose Escherichia coli were required in the environment of culture of Solanum
macrocarpum L. Eight samples resulting respectively from water of watering; ground and leaves were analyzed. No salmonella was
detected on these samples. Water of watering of the pilot site of Glo is not contaminated by Escherichia coli compared to those of the
sites of Houeyiho (1.8.104 ± 28.42 UFC/100 ml) ; Fidjrosse (0.95.104 ±70.10 UFC/100 ml) ; Agongbomey (5545 ± 77.53 UFC/100 ml)
(p<0.05). The leaves of Solanum macrocarpum L. were contaminated by Escherichia coli with different degrees according to the
site: Glo (35.65.104 ± 457.08 UFC/g); Houeyiho (0,95.103 ± 70.71 UFC/g); Fidjrosse (1.103 ± 0 UFC/g) ; Agongbomey (0.9.103 ± 0
UFC/g) (p<0.05). In addition, Escherichia coli is strongly developed on the leaves of Solanum macrocarpum L. from the pilot site of
Glo with a neutral pH (7.305 ± 0.064) compared to the other sites: 6.550 at Houeyiho; 6.480 at Fidjrosse and 6.445 at Agongbomey
(p<0.05). The study has shown that the leaves of Solanum macrocarpum L. are contaminated by the enterobacteria and their
consumption may expose the populations to some risks of enteric diseases.
