  4. Recombinant GII.Pe-GII.4 Norovirus, Thailand, 2017–2018

    • Emerging Infectious Diseases

    • During June 2017–December 2018, norovirus was responsible for 10.9% of acute gastroenteritis cases in Thailand. Genogroup I (GI) was found in 14% of samples, of which 12 were co-infected with genogroup II (GII). In 35.8% of samples, GII.Pe-GII.4 Sydney predominated. Diverse recombinant strains of GI and GII norovirus co-circulated year-round.

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Blue heliotrope (Heliotropium amplexicaule) is an invasive environmental weed that is widely naturalized in eastern Australia and has been implicated as a source of pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) poisoning in livestock. Less well-documented is the potential of such carcinogenic alkaloids to contaminate honey from bees foraging on this plant species. In this study, the PA profile of H.

  16. Systematic review of the Listeria monocytogenes σB regulon supports a role in stress response, virulence and metabolism

    • Future Microbiology

    • Aim: Among the alternative sigma factors of Listeria monocytogenes, σB controls the largest regulon. The aim of this study was to perform a comprehensive review of σB-regulated genes, and the functions they confer. Materials & methods: A systematic search of PubMed and Web of Knowledge was carried out to identify members of the σB regulon based on experimental evidence of σB-dependent transcription and presence of a consensus σB-dependent promoter.

  22. Antibiotic Resistance Profiles of Salmonella Recovered From Finishing Pigs and Slaughter Facilities in Henan, China

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • With the increase in commercial pig farming, there is a simultaneous increase in the use of antibiotics for prophylaxis as well as therapeutics in China. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence and resistance diversity of Salmonella isolated from faeces of asymptomatic, live and slaughtered pigs. We analyzed 1,732 pig faecal samples collected over eight months, at Henan province of China. Salmonella were isolated and identified by PCR.

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Recent research has proven the ability of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) for assuring food safety. A more flexible and transportable alternative is the use of plasma activated liquids (PAL), which are also known to have antimicrobial properties. However, within the context of food safety, little is known on its potential regarding decontamination.
