  1. Fishing in the Soup – Pathogen Detection in Food Safety Using Metabarcoding and Metagenomic Sequencing

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • In food safety the detection of food contaminations with pathogenic microorganisms is a race against time and often outpaced by error-prone epidemiological approaches. For evidence-based outbreak investigations fast and reliable techniques and procedures are required to identify the source of infection.

  9. Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from camel meat and slaughterhouse workers in Egypt

    • Antimicrobial Resistance & Infection Control

    • Background
      The emergence of vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) represents a challenge for the treatment of staphylococcal infections in both human and animals worldwide. Although VRSA has been detected in several animal species worldwide, data on the bacterial prevalence in dromedary camels and workers in camel slaughterhouses are scarce.

  16. Transcriptome analysis of virulence gene regulation by the ATP-dependent Lon protease in Salmonella Typhimurium

    • Future Microbiology

    • Aim: Determination of the virulence regulatory network controlled by the ATP-dependent Lon protease in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Materials & methods: The effect of Lon on S. Typhimurium virulence genes expression was investigated by RNA sequencing, and virulence-associated phenotypes between the wild-type and lon mutant were compared. Results:SPI-1, SPI-4, SPI-9 and flagellar genes were activated, while SPI-2 genes were repressed in the lon mutant.

  24. Immune-Related Gene Expression in Ducks Infected With Waterfowl-Origin H5N6 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Viruses

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Clade 2.3.4.4 H5 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) are widely prevalent and of significant concern to the poultry industry and public health in China. Nowadays, the clade 2.3.4.4 H5N6 virus has become a dominant AIV subtype among domestic ducks in southern China. We found that waterfowl-origin clade 2.3.4.4 H5N6 viruses (A/goose/Guangdong/16568/2016, GS16568 and A/duck/Guangdong/16873/2016, DK16873) isolated from southern China in 2016 could replicate in multiple organs of inoculated ducks.

  25. Ocins for Food Safety

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Ocins (bacteriocins/lactocins/enterocins) are antibacterial proteins synthesized by gut bacteria that kill or suppress the growth of related or unrelated bacterial strains. Food industry producing perishable and vulnerable products such as vegetables, milk products, and meat are susceptible to deterioration by spoilage and pathogenic bacteria, and microbial decomposition presents a severe problem for food manufacturers.
