  18. Vibrio cholerae phosphatases required for the utilization of nucleotides and extracellular DNA as phosphate sources

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • Phosphate is essential for life, being used in many core processes such as signal transduction and synthesis of nucleic acids. The waterborne agent of cholera, Vibrio cholerae, encounters phosphate limitation in both the aquatic environment and human intestinal tract. This bacterium can utilize extracellular DNA (eDNA) as a phosphate source, a phenotype dependent on secreted endo- and exonucleases. However, no transporter of nucleotides has been identified in V.

  19. A LysR-family transcriptional regulator required for virulence in Brucella abortus is highly conserved among the α-proteobacteria

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • Small RNAs are principal elements of bacterial gene regulation and physiology. Two small RNAs in Brucella abortus, AbcR1 and AbcR2, are required for wild-type virulence. Examination of the abcR loci revealed the presence of a gene encoding a LysR-type transcriptional regulator flanking abcR2 on chromosome 1. Deletion of this lysR gene (bab1_1517) resulted in the complete loss of abcR2 expression, while no difference in abcR1 expression was observed. The B.

  20. Proteolysis, Lipolysis and Sensory Characteristics of a Tunisian Dry Fermented Poultry Meat Sausage with Oregano and Thyme Essential Oils

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • The effects of the addition of oregano (0.25% v/v) and thyme (0.25% v/v) essential oils (EOs) on the microbiological, biochemical and sensory characteristics of a Tunisian dry fermented poultry meat sausage were investigated. The antimicrobial activity of oregano and thyme EOs improved the hygienic quality of dry fermented sausages by reducing the Enterobacteriaceae counts, total coliform counts and Staphylococcus aureus counts.

  21. Citrobacter braakii: A Major Cause of False-Positive Results on MacConkey and Levine's Eosin Methylene Blue Selective Agars Used for the Isolation of Escherichia Coli from Fresh Vegetable Samples

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • Fresh vegetables are a frequent cause of foodborne disease outbreaks because they often do not undergo heat treatment prior to consumption. Pathogenic Escherichia coli strains are the major causative agents of produce-related outbreaks.

  22. Antibiotic Resistance of Lactobacillus sp. Isolated from Commercial Probiotic Preparations

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • The aim of our study was to assess the antibiotic resistance among commercially available probiotic Lactobacilli. A total of 30 isolates were characterized after isolation from 19 commercial products, including Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus fermentum. All the isolates were further subjected to antibiotic susceptibility test using disc diffusion method against a total of 45 antibiotics.

  23. Escherichia coli O157 Outbreaks in the United States, 2003–2012

    • Emerging Infectious Diseases

    • Infections with the Shiga toxin–producing bacterium Escherichia coli O157 can cause severe illness and death. We summarized reported outbreaks of E. coli O157 infections in the United States during 2003–2012, including demographic characteristics of patients and epidemiologic findings by transmission mode and food category. We identified 390 outbreaks, which included 4,928 illnesses, 1,272 hospitalizations, and 33 deaths.

  24. Microbial Safety and Shelf Life of UV-C Treated Freshly Squeezed White Grape Juice

    • Journal of Food Science

    • The effects of UV-C irradiation on the inactivation of Escherichia coli K-12ATCC 25253), a surrogate of E. coli O157:H7, and on the shelf life of freshly squeezed turbid white grape juice (FSWGJ) were investigated. FSWGJ samples were processed at 0.90 mL/s for 32 min by circulating 8 times in an annular flow UV system. The UV exposure time was 244 s per cycle. The population of E.
