  6. Transfer of Acanthamoeba spp. to Fresh Produce from Water and Environmental Surfaces

    • Letters in Applied Microbiology

    • Human noroviruses (HuNoV) are the primary cause of foodborne disease outbreaks in the United States. The most frequent commodities implicated in HuNoV outbreaks are leafy greens where contamination may occur during production and harvesting practices. With respect to transmission of HuNoV to fresh produce, one hypothesis is that free-living amoebae that are ubiquitous in the environment (soil, sediments, water) can serve as vehicles of contamination through interaction with viruses.

  8. Integrating small molecule signalling and H-NS antagonism in Vibrio cholerae, a bacterium with two chromosomes

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • H-NS is a well-established silencer of virulence gene transcription in the human pathogen Vibrio cholerae. Biofilm formation aids V. cholerae in colonizing both its host and its external environments and H-NS silences biofilm gene expression. Cyclic-di-guanosine monophosphate acts through the DNA binding proteins VpsR and VpsT to overcome H-NS-mediated repression of biofilm genes, driving a transition between a planktonic and a colonial/biofilm lifestyle.

  9. Outbreak of Ciprofloxacin-Resistant Shigella sonnei Associated with Travel to Vietnam, South Korea

    • Emerging Infectious Diseases

    • We investigated an October 2014 outbreak of illness caused by Shigella sonnei in a daycare center in the Republic of Korea (South Korea). The outbreak strain was resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones and was traced to a child who had traveled to Vietnam. Improved hygiene and infection control practices are needed for prevention of shigellosis.

  24. Antimicrobial Activity of Essential Oils on Clostridium perfringens Type A Inoculated in Mortadella

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • The antimicrobial activity of essential oils on Clostridium perfringens type A and the influence of such oils on mortadella quality were assessed. The anticlostridial effects of several essential oils and their combinations were identified and some essential oils and their combinations were selected for further study in mortadellas supplemented with 75 ppm sodium nitrite and inoculated with C. perfringens.

  25. Repression by H-NS of genes required for the biosynthesis of the Vibrio cholerae biofilm matrix is modulated by the second messenger cyclic diguanylic acid

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • Expression of Vibrio cholerae genes required for the biosynthesis of exopolysacchide (vps) and protein (rbm) components of the biofilm matrix is enhanced by cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP). In a previous study, we reported that the H-NS protein represses the transcription of vpsA, vpsL and vpsT.
