  2. HflXr, a homolog of a ribosome-splitting factor, mediates antibiotic resistance [Microbiology]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • To overcome the action of antibiotics, bacteria have evolved a variety of different strategies, such as drug modification, target mutation, and efflux pumps. Recently, we performed a genome-wide analysis of Listeria monocytogenes gene expression after growth in the presence of antibiotics, identifying genes that are up-regulated upon antibiotic treatment. One...

  14. Transmission dynamics of Staphylococcus aureus within two Danish dairy cattle herds

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen causing intramammary infections (IMI) in dairy cattle herds worldwide. Simulation models can be used to investigate the epidemiologic and economic outcomes of different control strategies against IMI. The transmission rate parameter is one of the most influential parameters on the outcomes of these simulation models. Very few studies have estimated the transmission rate parameter and investigated the transmission dynamics of Staph.

  15. Hot topic: Bisphenol A in cow milk and dietary exposure at the farm level

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Chemical hazards may enter the milk chain during primary production. The study, for the first time, investigated the occurrence of bisphenol A (BPA) levels in cow milk samples collected on the farm following manual or mechanical milking and from the cooling tank. We applied a new monitoring model based on the identification of the hazards at each stage of the milk chain to identify potential pathways for contamination along the milk chain.

      Abstract

      In this work, near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and multivariate data analysis were investigated as a fast and non-disruptive method to classify green coffee beans on continents and countries bases. FT-NIR spectra of 191 coffee samples, origin from 2 continents and 9 countries, were acquired by two different laboratories.
