  1. Defining a control point for the South African abattoir hygiene management system

    • International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health

    • The hygiene management system (HMS) was regulated for South African red meat and poultry abattoirs in mid-2000. It is a basic food safety management system. The HMS requires identification of control points (CPs) where critical limits must be established and control measures set in place. However, a CP has not been defined in legislation and no guidelines are available on how to identify them.

  2. Occurrence of mycotoxins in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) and its products

    • International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health

    • Contamination of foods with mycotoxins represents an important limit to the income of farmers and a major public health concern especially in tropical countries. Cassava represents an important part of the diet of many people in this part of the word and the most important smallholder crop in Africa. Fungal contamination of cassava products can occur at pre-harvest level or after, during processing, according to the conditions (moisture, temperature, competition with other microorganisms).

  3. Sustainable street vended foods and food safety: a conceptual framework

    • International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health

    • Street vended foods are the vehicle of pathogens transmission resulting in foodborne diseases. The purpose of this paper is to propose a conceptual public health risks framework of consuming road vended foods based on detailed review of existing literature in developing countries.

  6. Quantification of viable but nonculturable Salmonella spp. and Shigella spp. during sludge anaerobic digestion and their reactivation during cake storage

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Aims
      The presence of viable but nonculturable (VBNC) bacterial pathogens which often fail to be detected by cultivation and can regain the cultivability if the living conditions improve were reported. The objective of this study is to determine the occurrence of VBNC Salmonella spp. and Shigella spp. in the biosolids during anaerobic digestion and its reactivation during the cake storage.

  10. Gene expression profiles of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the early stationary phase

    • Letters in Applied Microbiology

    • Vibrio (V.) parahaemolyticus is an aquatic bacterium capable of causing foodborne gastroenteritis. In the environment or the food chain, V. parahaemolyticus cells are usually forced into the stationary phase, the common phase for bacterial survival in the environment. So far, little is known about whole genomic expression of V. parahaemolyticus in the early stationary phase compared with the exponential growth phase.

  11. Listeria arpJ Gene Modifies T Helper Type 2 Subset Differentiation

    • The Journal of Infectious Diseases

    • Background. Although the T-cell subset differentiation pathway has been characterized extensively from the view of host gene regulation, the effects of genes of the pathogen on T-cell subset differentiation during infection have yet to be elucidated. Especially, the bacterial genes that are responsible for this shift have not yet been determined.

  12. Trends in Disease and Complications of Hepatitis A Virus Infection in the United States, 1999-2011: A New Concern for Adults

    • The Journal of Infectious Diseases

    • Background. In recent years, few US adults have had exposure and resultant immunity to hepatitis A virus (HAV). Further, persons with liver disease have an increased risk of adverse consequences if they are infected with HAV.

      Methods. This study used 1999–2011 National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System and Multiple Cause of Death data to assess trends in the incidence of HAV infection, HAV-related hospitalization, and HAV-related mortality.

  13. Effect of Ultraviolet-C Radiation Combined with Unconventional Atmosphere Packaging on the Quality of Fresh-Cut Arugula (Eruca Sativa Mill.)

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • The combined effects of ultraviolet (UV) light C (0.34 to 20.13 kJ/l2) and superatmospheric O2 (>85%) packaging on the respiration rate, atmospheric composition, microbiological growth and nutritional quality of fresh-cut arugula stored for 10 days at 5C were studied. All treatments performed under increased O2 levels exhibited a reduction in the respiration rate throughout the cold storage. High microbial load of the raw material were found.
