  1. Ancient Venom Systems: A Review on Cnidaria Toxins

    • Toxins

    • Cnidarians are the oldest extant lineage of venomous animals. Despite their simple anatomy, they are capable of subduing or repelling prey and predator species that are far more complex and recently evolved. Utilizing specialized penetrating nematocysts, cnidarians inject the nematocyst content or “venom” that initiates toxic and immunological reactions in the envenomated organism. These venoms contain enzymes, potent pore forming toxins, and neurotoxins.

  4. Prevalence of Vibrio spp. in raw shrimps (Parapenaeus longirostris) and performance of a chromogenic medium for the isolation of Vibrio strains

    • Letters in Applied Microbiology

    • Vibrios are natural inhabitants of estuarine ecosystems and some species may pose public health problem as agents of sporadic or collective foodborne infections associated with the consumption of fish or shellfish. Samples of raw shrimp (n = 299), fished in coastal areas of the city of Agadir, Morocco, and collected from its fish marketplace, were examined for the presence of pathogenic vibrios.

  12. A Quick Detection of Melamine Adulteration in Milk and Dairy Products Using First-Order Multivariate Calibration

    • Journal of Food Processing and Preservation

    • In this worka reasonable substitute with laborious and expensive liquid chromatography for quick melamine detection in milk and dairy products is outlined. To accomplish this aim, first-order multivariate calibration methods including partial least squares (PLS) and net analyte preprocessing-partial least squares (NAP/PLS) are adopted for melamine quantification in complex food extracts down to 0.07 mg/kg without the need for efficient sample clean up.

  22. Development of cross-priming amplification assays for rapid and sensitive detection of Aeromonas hydrophila

    • Letters in Applied Microbiology

    • Aeromonas hydrophila has been increasingly implicated as the aetiologic agent of various human diseases. Therefore, reliable laboratory detection and identification of this bacterium has become clinically and epidemiologically desirable. We developed a nearly instrument-free, simple molecular method for rapid detection of Aer. hydrophila using a cross-priming amplification (CPA) assay with the desA gene as the target.

  23. Identification of YsaP, the Pilotin of the Yersinia enterocolitica Ysa type III secretion system

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Secretins are multimeric outer membrane pore-forming proteins found in complex export systems in Gram-negative bacteria. All type III secretion systems (T3SSs) have a secretin, and one of these is the YsaC secretin of the chromosomally encoded Ysa T3SS of Yersinia enterocolitica. In some cases pilotin proteins, which are outer membrane lipoproteins, are required for their cognate secretin to multimerize and/or localize into the outer membrane.
