  2. Life After Secretion—Yersinia enterocolitica Rapidly Toggles Effector Secretion and Can Resume Cell Division in Response to Changing External Conditions

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Many pathogenic bacteria use the type III secretion system (T3SS) injectisome to manipulate host cells by injecting virulence-promoting effector proteins into the host cytosol. The T3SS is activated upon host cell contact, and its activation is accompanied by an arrest of cell division; hence, many species maintain a T3SS-inactive sibling population to propagate efficiently within the host.

  5. Plasmonic ELISA based on DNA-directed gold nanoparticle growth for Cronobacter detection in powdered infant formula samples

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • The traditional gold nanoparticle (AuNP) growth-based plasmonic ELISA (pELISA) strictly and directly controlled by reducing reagents can achieve high sensitivity, but it remains fragile toward the surrounding environment. This work developed a sandwich pELISA for Cronobacter detection in powdered infant formula samples by mediating AuNP growth through DNA.

    • Clostridium is a broad genus of anaerobic, spore-forming, rod-shaped, Gram-positive bacteria that can be found in different environments all around the world. The genus includes human and animal pathogens that produce potent exotoxins that cause rapid and potentially fatal diseases responsible for countless human casualties and billion-dollar annual loss to the agricultural sector.

  17. Dual-Mode Aptasensor for SERS and Chiral Detection of Campylobacter jejuni

    • Food Analytical Methods

    • Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni), a foodborne pathogen, is a major contributor to human bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide and detrimental to public health. In this paper, we developed a dual-mode aptasensor for Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) determination. Based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and chiral optical response, the concentrations of C.

    • World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology

    • The Campylobacter and Arcobacter genera encompass closely related species that are ubiquitous in nature and are harboured in the gastrointestinal tract of many animals, including food-producing animals (cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry). In humans Campylobacter spp. is the cause of most of the gastroenteritis cases worldwide and in more severe cases the infection can result in Guillian Barré syndrome.

  24. Aflatoxin compromises development of the preimplantation bovine embryo through mechanisms independent of reactive oxygen production

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Aflatoxin is a potent carcinogen often found in animal feedstuffs. Although it reportedly impairs development of the preimplantation pig embryo, it is not known whether it adversely affects development of the preimplantation bovine embryo. We conducted 3 experiments to investigate this possibility and determine whether deleterious effects of aflatoxin were caused by increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
