      Abstract

      Food packaging may be a potential source of contamination, through the migration of chemicals from the packaging into the food, thus food consumption is an important route of human exposure to packaging contaminants.

  14. [ASAP] Zn Supplement-Antagonized Cadmium-Induced Cytotoxicity in Macrophages In Vitro: Involvement of Cadmium Bioaccumulation and Metallothioneins Regulation

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic metal leading to multiple forms of organ damage. Zinc (Zn) was reported as a potential antagonist against Cd toxicity. The present study investigates the antagonistic effect of Zn (20 μM) on Cd (20 or 50 μM) cytotoxicity in macrophages in vitro. The results shows that Cd exposure caused dose-dependent morphologic and ultrastructural alterations in RAW 264.7 macrophages.

  16. Negatively controlled, randomized clinical trial to evaluate intramammary treatment of nonsevere, gram-negative clinical mastitis

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • The objective of this negatively controlled, randomized clinical trial was to examine clinical outcomes of 2-d or 8-d treatment using an approved intramammary (IMM) product containing ceftiofur hydrochloride compared with no antimicrobial treatment of nonsevere, gram-negative cases of clinical mastitis (CM). Additionally, we contrasted clinical outcomes of cases caused by Escherichia coli (n = 56) or Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 54).

  17. Differences between Staphylococcus aureus lineages isolated from ovine and caprine mastitis but not between isolates from clinical or subclinical mastitis

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Staphylococcus aureus is an important mastitis pathogen, causing both clinical mastitis (CM) and subclinical mastitis (SCM) in small ruminants. In general, CM has a low incidence in sheep and goats but can be very severe and costly. In contrast, subclinical mastitis (SCM) is common but is associated with less cost. For both sheep and goats, S. aureus is the main cause of CM and is associated with SCM cases with a high SCC. Recently, specific lineages of S.

  18. Comparison of PAHs Formed in Firewood and Charcoal Smoked Stock and Cat Fish

    • American Journal of Food Science and Technology

    • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a product of incomplete combustions. Foods prepared via combustion and high temperature are linked with incomplete combustion making them vulnerable to having PAHs in their constituent. Two species of fish: stock fish and cat fish were bought from Ogbomoso and smoked using firewood and charcoal at various time intervals.

  19. Identification of a nth-Like Gene Encoding an Endonuclease III in Campylobacter jejuni

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of foodborne illnesses worldwide. As a microaerobic pathogen, C. jejuni is subjected to DNA damages caused by various stresses such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and UV radiations. The base excision repair (BER) system plays an important role in preventing mutations associated with oxidative DNA damage, but the system remains poorly characterized in Campylobacter. In this study, a BER homolog encoded by cj0595c (named nth) in C.

  20. O-Antigen Gene Clusters of Plesiomonas shigelloides Serogroups and Its Application in Development of a Molecular Serotyping Scheme

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Plesiomonas shigelloides is a Gram-negative, flagellated, rod-shaped, ubiquitous, and facultative anaerobic bacterium. It has been isolated from various sources, such as freshwater, surface water, and many wild and domestic animals. P. shigelloides is associated with diarrheal diseases of acute secretory gastroenteritis, an invasive shigellosis-like disease, and a cholera-like illness in humans. At present, 102 somatic antigens and 51 flagellar antigens of P.
