  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  13. Controlling Listeria monocytogenes Scott A on Surfaces of Fully Cooked Turkey Deli Product Using Organic Acid-Containing Marinades as Postlethality Dips

    • International Journal of Food Science

    • This study evaluated the efficacy of organic acids applied singly or in combination as postlethality dips to sliced uncured turkey deli loaves to inhibit the growth of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) Scott A. Treatments consisted of sodium lactate (SL; 3.6%), potassium lactate (PL; 3.6%), sodium citrate (SC; 0.75%), a combination of SL and sodium diacetate (SDA; 0.25%), and a combination of SL/PL/SDA, alongside appropriate negative and positive controls.

  19. Bacteriophages and bacteriophage derived endolysins as potential therapeutics to combat gram positive spore forming bacteria

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Since their discovery in 1915, bacteriophages have been routinely used within Eastern Europe to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Although initially ignored by the West due to the success of antibiotics, increasing levels and diversity of antibiotic resistance is driving a renaissance for bacteriophage derived therapy, which is in part due to the highly specific nature of bacteriophages as well as their relative abundance.

  22. Bioimage analysis of Shigella infection [Microbiology]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • Few studies within the pathogenic field have used advanced imaging and analytical tools to quantitatively measure pathogenicity in vivo. In this work, we present a novel approach for the investigation of host–pathogen processes based on medium-throughput 3D fluorescence imaging. The guinea pig model for Shigella flexneri invasion of the colonic...

  23. Mycobacterium tuberculosis class II AP-endonuclease/3′-5′ exonuclease III (XthA) exhibits DNA regulated modes of interaction with the sliding DNA β-clamp

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • The class-II AP-endonuclease (XthA) acts on abasic sites of damaged DNA in bacterial base excision repair. We identified that the sliding DNA β-clamp forms in vivo and in vitro complexes with XthA in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A novel 239QLRFPKK245 motif in the DNA-binding domain of XthA was found to be important for the interactions. Likewise, the peptide-binding-groove (PBG) and the C-terminal of β-clamp located on different domains, interact with XthA.

  24. Fusariotoxins in Avian Species: Toxicokinetics, Metabolism and Persistence in Tissues

    • Toxins

    • Fusariotoxins are mycotoxins produced by different species of the genus Fusarium whose occurrence and toxicity vary considerably. Despite the fact avian species are highly exposed to fusariotoxins, the avian species are considered as resistant to their toxic effects, partly because of low absorption and rapid elimination, thereby reducing the risk of persistence of residues in tissues destined for human consumption.

  25. The ability of Schisandra chinensis fruit to inhibit the growth of foodborne pathogenic bacteria and the viability and heat resistance of Bacillus cereus spores

    • International Journal of Food Science & Technology

    • The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of Schisandra chinensis fruit on the growth of spoilage and pathogenic bacteria and on the viability and heat resistance of Bacillus cereus spores. Schisandra chinensis fruit was extracted with one of three different solvents (50% ethanol, 100% ethanol and distilled water), and the extracts exhibited antimicrobial activity against all the bacteria tested.
