Abstract

Aims

To develop a process risk model (PRM) for evaluating the safety of individual lots of ground chicken (GC) contaminated with Salmonella (Salm).

Abstract

Aims

Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) is one of the most popular seafood in Korea, owing to their unique taste and nutritional value. This study aimed to disclose the antibiotic and heavy‐metal resistance characteristics of Aeromonas spp. isolated from marketed Manila clam in Korea.

Abstract

Aim

Study is focused on the influence of cadmium addition to growth media on production yield, their size and molecular mass of exopolysaccharides (EPS) synthesized by three rhizosphere bacteria strains. Inhibition of bacterial growth by increasing concentrations of Cd2+ was also analyzed.

Abstract

Aim

Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) cause bloody diarrhoea, kidney failure and occasionally death. However, identifying the source of infection caused by STEC other than serogroup O157 is hampered by availability of sensitive methods for detecting these pathogens. In this study we developed novel tools for detecting E. coli O55 that is potentially associated with human outbreaks.

Abstract

Aims

We developed a strategy for localized delivery of the LFCA (lactoferricin‐lactoferrampin), which is actively synthesized in situ by Lactococcus lactis (pAMJ399‐LFCA/LLMG1363), and explored the possibility of using the pAMJ399‐LFCA/LLMG1363 as an alternative additive diet to antibiotics.

Abstract

Aim

Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is a prevalent problem in mammals. The present study was conducted to unveil the alterations in intestinal microbiota in IUGR piglets.

Abstract

Aims

Greenhouse trials were conducted with different cultivars of baby leaf spinach, rocket, and Swiss chard and inoculation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 gfp+, to determine whether plant species and cultivar has an impact on establishment of this strain.

Abstract

Abstract

Aims

In this study the association between multidrug resistance (MDR) and the expression of some virulence factors were evaluated in E. coli strains isolated from infant faeces and fresh green vegetables. The effect of isolate origin on associated virulence factors was evaluated. In addition, genetic fingerprinting of a sample of these isolates (10 isolates from each group) was studied in order to detect any genetic relatedness among these isolates.

Abstract

Aims

The aim of the study is to investigate the proteomic changes and antioxidant enzyme activity in chromium resistant Bacillus cereus VITSH1 in response to heavy metal toxicity.

Abstract

Aims

To evaluate ATP bioluminescence‐based hygiene monitoring systems under conditions relevant for fish processing environments.

Abstract

Aims

The aim of this study was to develop a multiplex touchdown PCR (multiplex TD‐PCR) for rapid and simultaneous detection of four major foodborne pathogens to avoid mispriming and unwanted production during gene amplification. Touchdown PCR is the modified form of standard PCR, which enhances specificity, sensitivity.

Abstract

Aims

The aim of this study was the molecular identification of Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis isolated from poultry samples and their antimicrobial resistance and virulence profiling.

Abstract

Aims

This study aimed to gather information on farming practices employed in organic lettuce fields in Sao Paulo, Brazil and associate these practices with the microbiological characteristics of the products.

Abstract

Aim

To determine the protective capacity against Salmonella infection in mice of the cell‐free fraction (postbiotic) of fermented milk, produced at laboratory and industrial level.

Abstract

Aims

Methicillin‐sensitive and methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA and MRSA, respectively) in the nostrils of dogs and workers at an animal shelter were cultured. Staphylococcal toxin genes were analyzed to identify potential health concerns.

Abstract

Aim

The effect of heavy metals presence on the decolorization of Reactive Black 5 by Pseudomonas aeruginosa was evaluated.

Abstract

Aims

The purpose of this research was to determine optimum conditions for broth recovery of heat‐injured Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia coli O157:H7.

Abstract

Aims

In this present study, the utility of a newly developed Loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and real‐time PCR assays designed to amplify the virB gene region of B. melitensis were evaluated from human clinical specimens.

Abstract

Aims

This study conducted bacterial community, virulence and antibiogram profiling inside the hindgut and skin of freshly caught hilsa fish and those sold at markets.

Abstract

Abstract

Aims

The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity and resistance phenotypes of Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from clinical encephalitis cases, and compare this population to isolates derived from tank milk of healthy animals.

Abstract

Aims

To investigate effects of the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a disinfectant, on spores of Bacillus species.

Abstract

Aims

The objective of this study was to determine antimicrobial activities of essential oils (EOs) against bovine respiratory disease (BRD) pathogens and nasopharyngeal commensal bacteria, as well as cytotoxicity in bovine turbinate (BT) cells in vitro.

Abstract

Aims

This study investigated the occurrence and genetic diversity of Enterobacteriaceae with extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase (ESBL)‐, AmpC‐ and carbapenemase‐mediated resistance in British beef cattle, and related risk factors.
