  6. Quercetin Prevents Escherichia coli O157:H7 Adhesion to Epithelial Cells via Suppressing Focal Adhesions

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Yansong Xue, Min Du, Mei-Jun Zhu The attachment of Escherichia coli O157:H7 to intestinal epithelial cells is indispensable for its pathogenesis. Besides translocated-intimin receptor (Tir), E. coli O157:H7 interacts with host cell surface receptors to promote intimate adhesion. This study showed that integrin β1 was increased in Caco-2 cells upon E. coli O157:H7 infection, while Caco-2 cells subjected to integrin β1 antibody blocking or CRISPR/Cas9 knockout had reduced bacterial attachment.

  12. Invited review: Advancements in lateral flow immunoassays for screening hazardous substances in milk and milk powder

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Dairy-related food safety outbreaks, such as food-borne pathogen contamination, mycotoxin contamination, and veterinary drug contamination, sometimes happen and have been reported all over the world, affecting human health and, in some cases, leading to death. Thus, rapid yet robust detection methods are needed to monitor milk and milk powder for the presence of hazardous substances.

  13. [ASAP] Purification and Characterization of a Cadmium-Binding Protein from Lentinula edodes

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Many organisms possess the ability to produce metal-binding proteins to absorb cadmium. Metallothioneins, an important family of cysteine-rich metal-binding proteins, have been isolated and well characterized. However, Lentinula edodes may have a different type of cadmium-binding protein that contains fewer cysteine residues. In the present study, we purified a cadmium-binding protein from L.

  16. Perspectives and Trends in the Application of Photodynamic Inactivation for Microbiological Food Safety

    • Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety

    • Photodynamic inactivation is a phenomenon that has the potential to cause microbial inactivation using visible light. It works on the principle that photosensitizers within the microbial cell can be activated using specific wavelengths to trigger a series of cytotoxic reactions. In the last few years, efforts to apply this intervention technology for food safety have been on the rise. This review article offers a detailed commentary on this research.

  22. Lag phase - a dynamic, organized, adaptive, and evolvable period that prepares bacteria for cell

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Lag is a temporary period of non-replication seen in bacteria that are introduced to new media. Despite latency being described by Müller in 1895, until only recently have we gained insights into the cellular processes characterizing lag phase. This review covers literature to date on the transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, physiological, biochemical, and evolutionary features of prokaryotic lag.
