  2. A metalloprotease secreted by the Type II Secretion System links Vibrio cholerae with collagen

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Vibrio cholerae is autochthonous to various aquatic niches and the etiological agent of the life-threatening diarrheal disease, cholera. The persistence of V. cholerae in natural habitats is a crucial factor in the epidemiology of cholera. In contrast to the well studied V. cholerae-chitin connection, scarce information is available about the factors employed by the bacteria for the interaction with collagens.

    • Journal of Food Processing and Preservation

    • The present study investigated the effect of sumacSWE) and barberry water extracts (BWE) on microbial growth and chemical changes in ground sheep meat during refrigerated storage. The meat samples were explored for changes in total viable count (TVC), lactic acid bacteria (LAB), coliforms, yeasts and Listeria monocytogenes populations as well as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) value, metmyoglobin (metMb), pH value and sensory quality.

  7. Covalent Immobilization of Recombinant Organophosphorus Hydrolase on Spores of Bacillus subtilis

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Aims
      Organophosphorus pesticides are widely used in agriculture. Accordingly decontamination of these pesticides and their residual in environment is an important aim of researchers. One of the best approaches is enzymatic detoxification of these compounds with organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH). The immobilization of OPH on environmentally friendly supports is of great importance for developing stabilized enzymes to degradation of organophosphorus compounds.

  22. Effect of high-oxygen and oxygen-free modified atmosphere packaging on the spoilage process of poultry breast fillets

    • Poultry Science

    • A comparison was made of the effect of atmospheres containing high oxygen (70% O2 and 30% CO2) or high nitrogen (70% N2 and 30% CO2) on the spoilage process during storage (at 4°C) of poultry fillets. Four samples of each gas atmosphere were analyzed at 7 sample points during storage.

  23. Administration of a Salmonella Enteritidis {Delta}hilAssrAfliG strain by coarse spray to newly hatched broilers reduces colonization and shedding of a Salmonella Enteritidis challenge strain

    • Poultry Science

    • Consumption of contaminated poultry meat is still an important cause of Salmonella infections in humans. Colonization inhibition (CI) occurs when a live Salmonella strain is administered to chickens and subsequently protects against challenge with another Salmonella strain belonging to the same serotype.

  24. Selection for pro-inflammatory mediators produces chickens more resistant to Eimeria tenella

    • Poultry Science

    • We recently developed a novel selection method based on identification and selection of chickens with an inherently high and low phenotype of pro-inflammatory mediators, including interleukin (IL)-6, CXCLi2, and CCLi2. The resultant high line of chickens is more resistant to Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (Salmonella Enteritidis) compared to the low line.
