Schematic presentation of transmission of plant and human bacterial pathogens towards their opposite environments Plant bacterial pathogens can infect humans at direct contact or be transferred indirectly by wind, dust, rain, insect vectors, and animals. Human bacterial pathogens can contaminate the general environment or be transmitted by insects and animals, and through manure, wastes, soil, and irrigation water, they can colonize the rhizosphere whereby via the roots and vascular system inhabit the aerial part of the plant. Transmission of human pathogenic bacteria from plant environment towards humans can occur through contaminated soil and at the consumption of contaminated fruits and vegetables. Red arrow – route of plant bacterial pathogens towards humans; yellow arrows – transfer of human bacterial pathogens towards plant environment; blue arrows – direction of human bacteria from plant environment towards humans; black dotted arrow – movement of human bacteria from rhizosphere towards aerial part of the plant
