    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Bacillus cereus sensu lato is one of the most harmful bacterial groups affecting the quality and safety of powdered infant formula (PIF). In this study, samples were collected from the raw materials and processing environments of PIF. A total of 84 isolates were identified as Bacillus cereus sensu stricto (B. cereus s. s.) by 16S rRNA analysis, molecular typing technology, and physiological and biochemical tests. The 84 B. cereus s. s.

  17. Staphylococcus aureus induces autophagy in bovine mammary epithelial cells and the formation of autophagosomes facilitates intracellular replication of Staph. aureus

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen causing chronic and subclinical mastitis of cows. Autophagy is an important regulatory mechanism that participates in the elimination of invading pathogenic organisms. Here, we hypothesize that autophagy is involved in the process of Staph. aureus survival in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMEC).

  19. [ASAP] Antibiotic Residues in Food: Extraction, Analysis, and Human Health Concerns

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • The abundant use of antibiotics leads to antibiotic residues in frequently consumed foods. Residual antibiotics in food may have adverse effects on humans by directly causing disease via low-dose exposure and indirect harm via antibiotic resistance. However, the current methods for antibiotic extraction and analysis in food have not yet formed a uniform standard, and only a few data exist regarding the residual antibiotic condition in various types of foods.

  20. [ASAP] Determination of the Limit of Detection of Multiple Pesticides Utilizing Gold Nanoparticles and Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Exposure to commonly used pesticides poses significant health risks to humans and wildlife. Hence, accurate and sensitive pesticide residue testing methods are imperative to minimize potential health hazards. In this study, we report a method to detect several pesticide residues at trace levels utilizing colloidal gold nanoparticles and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).

  21. Distribution of antibiotic resistance genes among Staphylococcus species isolated from ready-to-eat foods

    • Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

    • We investigated antibiotic resistance of staphylococci isolated from 1128 samples of high-circulating RTE foods in Taiwan. A total of 111 Staphylococcus aureus and 709 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) comprising 23 species were isolated. The prevalence of S. aureus differed in various category of RTE foods, highest in fresh-cut fruits/vegetables (20.5%) and lowest in low-water activity (LWA) foods (0.7%).
