  2. The Mycotoxins T-2 and Deoxynivalenol Facilitate the Translocation of Streptococcus suis across Porcine Ileal Organoid Monolayers

    • Toxins

    • Mycotoxins have the potential to increase the risk of airway or intestinal infection due to their effects on epithelial integrity and function. The bacterium Streptococcus suis (S. suis) is often carried in pigs and can cause outbreaks of invasive disease, leading to sepsis and meningitis in postweaning piglets. In this study, we tested the effect of two Fusarium mycotoxins (deoxynivalenol (DON) and T-2) on the integrity of the intestinal epithelium and their interaction with S. suis.

  4. Effects of film-forming components on the viability of probiotics and the application of synbiotic pectin film in preserving Da Xanh pomelo and Thai jackfruit fresh-cut

    • Food Science and Biotechnology

    • Minimally processed products are highly convenient, and fresh-cut fruits coated with the synbiotic film have many advantages. This study investigated the film-forming components and preservation ability of Da Xanh pomelo and Thai jackfruit fresh-cut by synbiotic pectin film. The results showed that PA70 film combined with 1.5% FOS (fructooligosaccharides) had the highest number of viable cells of L. plantarum after 30 days of storage at 5 °C.

  5. Heat resistance of Listeria monocytogenes persistent cells following osmotic stress in cooked pork sausages

    • International Journal of Food Science & Technology

    • Bacterial persistence through retarded growth rate could seriously threaten food safety; however, its relevance in the food field still today remains underestimated. The present study provides new insights on the impact that this specific type of defence strategy can have on food safety using Listeria monocytogenes as a study model. Summary Persistent bacteria are subset of cells capable of surviving bactericidal treatments longer.

  11. Do lead (Pb) content of lipsticks expose a health risk to children? A risk assessment study

    • Journal of Public Health

    • Background Lead (Pb) content in lipsticks and potential life-long exposure of which might cause severe effects in consumers are an important concern for public. Thus, studies emphasize that lead exposure has no safe levels. Methods From 10 different brands, in total, 25 solid, gloss and creamy lipsticks are deployed from Turkish markets that are also categorized in two different price ranges.

  15. Genomic analysis of foodborne Staphylococcus aureus obtained from unannounced food inspections between 2012 and 2021 in East China

    • FEMS Microbiology Letters

    • Staphylococcus aureus is a significant cause of foodborne illness in China. Our investigation concentrated on the genetic characterization of foodborne S. aureus identified during unannounced inspections conducted in Suzhou from 2012 to 2021. Dominant clones included clonal complex (CC) 1, CC398, CC188, and CC7, with CC398 notably increasing in 2020–2021. The isolates commonly contained 1–3 plasmids, with rep5a (48.55%) and rep16 (44.51%) predominating.

    • International Journal of Dairy Technology

    • Pretreatment of live or heat‐killed Lactiplantibacillus plantarum MWFLp‐182 reduces Salmonella typhimurium infection. Live and heat‐killed L. plantarum MWFLp‐182 provides a defence mechanism against Salmonella infection by modulating different key KEGG enrichment pathways. Heat‐killed L. plantarum MWFLp‐182 also plays an effective role in reducing intestinal inflammation and preventing infection. The effects of both live and heat‐killed states of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum MWFLp‐182 (L.

      Background

      NASH is considered a contributor to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk; however, its contribution beyond traditional risk factors for CVD, particularly diabetes, is less clearly understood. This study aimed to quantify the cardiovascular-event risk associated with NASH, independent of diabetes status.
