  1. Bacteriological quality and the prevalence of Salmonella spp. and E. coli O157:H7 in ready‐to‐eat foods from Barbados, WI

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • The bacteriological quality and safety of ready‐to‐eat (RTE) foods in Barbados were assessed in two separate studies conducted between 2014 and 2016. In Study 1, 206 food samples were processed for Salmonella spp. by conventional bacteriological methods. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and serotyping were used for confirmation. In Study 2, 120 food samples were processed for the total aerobic plate count (TAPC), coliform count, and E. coli count using conventional bacteriological methods.

  2. Kinetic pattern and microbial population dynamic characterization of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enteritidis in Frankfurter sausage: An experimental and modeling study

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • Concerns over the safety of nitrite and its role in the formation of nitrosamines have aroused considerable interest in developing alternative antimicrobial agents to replace nitrite. Plant‐derived antimicrobial agents could serve against food spoilage and pathogens. For the first time in this study, three semiempirical kinetic models, that is, exponential, homographic, and n‐order kinetic models were established to describe the microbiological population pattern and dynamic behavior.

  3. Ethanol Adaptation Strategies in Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis Revealed by Global Proteomic and Mutagenic Analyses

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis is able to adapt to sublethal concentrations of ethanol, which subsequently induce tolerance of this pathogen to normally lethal ethanol challenges. This work aims to elucidate the underlying ethanol adaptation mechanisms of S. Enteritidis by proteomic and mutagenic analyses. The global proteomic response of S.

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) are highly conserved and complex protein secretion systems that deliver effector proteins into eukaryotic hosts or other bacteria. T6SSs are regulated precisely by a variety of regulatory systems, which enables bacteria to adapt to varied environments.

  20. Multidrug resistance regulators MarA, SoxS, Rob, and RamA repress flagellar gene expression and motility in Salmonella enterica serovar

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Production of flagella is costly and subject to global, multi-layered regulation. This is reflected in the hierarchical control of flagellar production in many bacterial species. For Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and its relatives, global regulation of flagellar production primarily occurs through control of flhDC transcription and mRNA translation.

    • Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews

    • The gut microbiome is critical in providing resistance against colonization by exogenous microorganisms. The mechanisms via which the gut microbiota provide colonization resistance (CR) have not been fully elucidated, but they include secretion of antimicrobial products, nutrient competition, support of gut barrier integrity, and bacteriophage deployment.
