  5. Antimicrobial Activity of Essential Oils on Clostridium perfringens Type A Inoculated in Mortadella

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • The antimicrobial activity of essential oils on Clostridium perfringens type A and the influence of such oils on mortadella quality were assessed. The anticlostridial effects of several essential oils and their combinations were identified and some essential oils and their combinations were selected for further study in mortadellas supplemented with 75 ppm sodium nitrite and inoculated with C. perfringens.

  6. Repression by H-NS of genes required for the biosynthesis of the Vibrio cholerae biofilm matrix is modulated by the second messenger cyclic diguanylic acid

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • Expression of Vibrio cholerae genes required for the biosynthesis of exopolysacchide (vps) and protein (rbm) components of the biofilm matrix is enhanced by cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP). In a previous study, we reported that the H-NS protein represses the transcription of vpsA, vpsL and vpsT.

  7. RpoS and quorum sensing control expression and polar localization of Vibrio cholerae chemotaxis cluster III proteins in vitro and in vivo

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • The diarrheal pathogen Vibrio cholerae contains 3 gene clusters that encode chemotaxis-related proteins, but only cluster II appears to be required for chemotaxis. Here, we present the first characterization of V. cholerae's “cluster III” chemotaxis system. We found that cluster III proteins assemble into foci at bacterial poles, like those formed by cluster II proteins, but the two systems assemble independently and do not colocalize.

  8. Catecholate siderophore esterases Fes, IroD and IroE are required for salmochelins secretion following utilisation, but only IroD contributes to virulence of extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • Salmochelins are glucosylated forms of enterobactin (enterochelin) and contribute to virulence of Salmonella enterica and some extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC). Fes, IroD and IroE esterases degrade salmochelins and enterobactin to release iron. We investigated the apparently redundant role of these esterases in virulence and in salmochelin production and utilisation of the ExPEC strain χ7122.

  10. Inactivation of Vibrio parahaemolyticus by anti-microbial photodynamic technology using methylene blue

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • Xi Deng, Shuze Tang, Qian Wu, Juan Tian, William W. Riley, Zhenqiang Chen Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the leading causative pathogen of gastroenteritis often related to contaminated seafood. Photodynamic inactivation has been recently proposed as a strategy for killing cells and viruses. The objective of this study was to verify the bactericidal effects caused by photodynamic inactivation using methylene blue (MB) over V.

  20. Use of a nanoparticulate carboxymethyl cellulose film containing sinigrin as an antimicrobial precursor to kill E. coli O157:H7 on fresh beef

    • Letters in Applied Microbiology

    • Nanocomposite carboxymethyl cellulose films containing sinigrin (SNG) were prepared by stirring 2% (w/v) carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and 2% (w/v) glycerol (as a plasticizer) in distilled water with or without SNG (an antimicrobial precursor) as a 99% pure reagent (pSNG) or as a crude extract (cSNG). These films plus normal CMC film with or without SNG were tested on Escherichia coli O157:H7- inoculated beef for antimicrobial activity.

  24. Evidence for Human Norovirus Infection of Dogs in the United Kingdom [Virology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are a major cause of viral gastroenteritis, with an estimated 3 million cases per year in the United Kingdom. HuNoVs have recently been isolated from pet dogs in Europe (M. Summa, C.-H. von Bonsdorff, and L. Maunula, J Clin Virol 53:244–247, 2012, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jcv.2011.12.014), raising concerns about potential zoonotic infections.

  25. Use of Whole-Genome Phylogeny and Comparisons for Development of a Multiplex PCR Assay To Identify Sequence Type 36 Vibrio parahaemolyticus [Bacteriology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • Vibrio parahaemolyticus sequence type 36 (ST36) strains that are native to the Pacific Ocean have recently caused multistate outbreaks of gastroenteritis linked to shellfish harvested from the Atlantic Ocean. Whole-genome comparisons of 295 genomes of V. parahaemolyticus, including several traced to northeastern U.S. sources, were used to identify diagnostic loci, one putatively encoding an endonuclease (prp), and two others potentially conferring O-antigenic properties (cps and flp).
