  22. Longitudinal Study of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli and Campylobacter jejuni on Finnish Dairy Farms and in Raw Milk [Food Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and Campylobacter jejuni are notable health hazards associated with the consumption of raw milk. These bacteria may colonize the intestines of asymptomatic cattle and enter bulk tank milk via fecal contamination during milking. We studied the frequency of STEC O157:H7 and C.

  23. Higher Temperatures Do Not Always Achieve Better Antibiotic Resistance Gene Removal in Anaerobic Digestion of Swine Manure [Public and Environmental Health Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • This study employed high-throughput quantitative PCR and 16S rRNA sequencing to evaluate the effect of temperature and residual antibiotics on the dynamics of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and microbial communities during anaerobic digestion of swine manure. The abundances of total ARGs and 16S rRNA genes significantly decreased in all of four treatments (25°C, 37°C, and 37°C with 50 mg of wet weight antibiotics of body weight, and 55°C).

  24. In Silico Serotyping Based on Whole-Genome Sequencing Improves the Accuracy of Shigella Identification [Public and Environmental Health Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Bacteria of the genus Shigella, consisting of 4 species and >50 serotypes, cause shigellosis, a foodborne disease of significant morbidity, mortality, and economic loss worldwide. Classical Shigella identification based on selective media and serology is tedious, time-consuming, expensive, and not always accurate. A molecular diagnostic assay does not distinguish Shigella at the species level or from enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC).

  25. Sensitization of Human Liver Cells Towards Fas‐Mediated Apoptosis by the Metabolically Activated Pyrrolizidine Alkaloid Lasiocarpine

    • Molecular Nutrition & Food Research

    • Scope

      Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) are common phytotoxins. Intoxication can lead to liver damage. Previous studies showed PA‐induced apoptosis in liver cells. However, the exact role of the extrinsic apoptotic pathway has not been investigated yet. Our study aimed to analyze whether the PA representative lasiocarpine sensitizes human liver cells towards extrinsic Fas‐mediated apoptosis.
