  1. Detection probability models for bacteria, and how to obtain them from heterogeneous spiking data. An application to Bacillus anthracis

    • International Journal of Food Microbiology

    • Publication date: 16 January 2017, Volume 241 Author(s): Ronny Hedell, Olga Stephansson, Petter Mostad, Mats Gunnar Andersson Efficient and correct evaluation of sampling results with respect to hypotheses about the concentration or distribution of bacteria generally requires knowledge about the performance of the detection method. To assess the sensitivity of the detection method an experiment is usually performed where the target matrix is spiked (i.e.

  15. Thermo-alkaline Treatment as a Practical DegradationStrategy To Reduce IndospicineContamination in Camel Meat

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Ingestion of indospicine-contaminated camel and horse meat has caused fatal liver injury to dogs in Australia, and it is currently not known if such contaminated meat may pose a human health risk upon dietary exposure. To date, indospicine-related research has tended to focus on analytical aspects, with little information on post-harvest management of indospicine-contaminated meat.

  16. Adherence to Intestinal Cells Promotes Biofilm Formation in Vibrio cholerae

    • The Journal of Infectious Diseases

    • Vibrio cholerae, the etiological agent of cholera, is known to form biofilms to persist in the environment. It is demonstrated here that even during infection, biofilm genes are upregulated, and microscopic observation indicated that biofilm formation is initiated almost immediately after adherence of V. cholerae to intestinal cells. About 7-fold upregulation of the biofilm regulatory gene vpsT was observed within 30 minutes of adherence of V.

  17. Antimicrobial Resistance Among Nontyphoidal Salmonella Isolated From Blood in the United States, 2003-2013

    • The Journal of Infectious Diseases

    • Background. Salmonella causes an estimated 100 000 antimicrobial-resistant infections annually in the United States. Salmonella antimicrobial resistance may result in bacteremia and poor outcomes. We describe antimicrobial resistance among nontyphoidal Salmonella blood isolates, using data from the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System.

  18. Single-Dose Hepatitis A Immunization: 7.5-Year Observational Pilot Study in Nicaraguan Children to Assess Protective Effectiveness and Humoral Immune Memory Response

    • The Journal of Infectious Diseases

    • Background. Universal 2-dose hepatitis A virus (HAV) vaccination of toddlers effectively controls hepatitis A. High vaccine costs, however, impede implementation in endemic countries. To test single-dose vaccination as a possible alternative, we initiated an observational, longitudinal study in Nicaragua, to assess protective effectiveness and—through challenge vaccination—humoral immune memory response.

  20. Sakacin-A antimicrobial packaging for decreasing Listeria contamination in thin-cut meat: preliminary assessment

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • ABSTRACT

      BACKGROUND

      Minimally processed ready-to eat products are considered a high-risk food because of the possibility of contamination with pathogenic bacteria, including Listeria monocytogenes from the animal reservoir, and the minimal process they undergo. In this study a sakacin-A anti-Listeria active package was developed and tested on thin-cut veal meat slices (namely, carpaccio).

  25. Detection and Genotyping of Coxiella burnetii in Pigs, South Korea, 2014–2015

    • Emerging Infectious Diseases

    • We assessed Coxiella burnetii prevalence and genotypes in pigs in South Korea during 2014–2015. Prevalence was low among 1,030 samples tested by ELISA and immunofluorescent assay and 1,124 samples tested by PCR. Despite this finding, possible transmission of C. burnetii from pigs to humans cannot be excluded.
