  17. Prevalence, Molecular Characterization and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Escherichia Coli Isolated from Duck Meat and Giblets

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • Escherichia coli is one of the foodborne pathogens associated with several cases of human sickness. Duck meat is an excellent source of animal-derived high quality proteins. This study was undertaken to investigate the possible transmission of diarrheagenic E. coli from consumption of duck meat and giblets. Additionally, expression of some virulence-associated genes in the isolated E. coli serotypes was examined using polymerase chain reaction.

  18. Effects of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the Biofilm Formation of Cronobacter Sakazakii Strains from Powdered Infant Formula

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • Biofilm of Cronobacter sakazakii on food contact surfaces is the important source of persistent contamination in powdered infant formula. This study aimed to assess the effects of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on biofilm formation. Results indicated that the biofilm-forming ability was strain specific and divalent cation concentrations dependent. Most of C. sakazakii formed the highest amount of biomass at 1.50% MgCl2 (17 strains, 74%) and 0.25% CaCl2 (10 strains, 43.4%).

  20. Physiochemical control of bacterial and protist community composition and diversity in Antarctic sea ice

    • Environmental Microbiology

    • Due to climate change, sea ice experiences changes in terms of extent and physical properties. In order to understand how sea ice microbial communities are affected by changes in physiochemical properties of the ice, we used 454-sequencing of 16S and 18S rRNA genes to examine environmental control of microbial diversity and composition in Antarctic sea ice.

  21. Detection of Shiga Toxins by Lateral Flow Assay

    • Toxins

    • Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) produce shiga toxins (Stxs) that can cause human disease and death. The contamination of food products with STEC represents a food safety problem that necessitates rapid and effective detection strategies to mitigate risk.

  22. Comparative Investigation of the Efficacy of Three Different Adsorbents against OTA-Induced Toxicity in Broiler Chickens

    • Toxins

    • The aim of our study was to determine the efficacy of three different adsorbents, inorganic (modified zeolite), organic (esterified glucomannans) and mixed (inorganic and organic components, with the addition of enzymes), in protecting broilers from the toxic effects of ochratoxin A in feed. Broilers were fed diets containing 2 mg/kg of ochratoxin A (OTA) and supplemented with adsorbents at the recommended concentration of 2 g/kg for 21 days.

  23. Dynamics of Vibrio cholerae abundance in Austrian saline lakes, assessed with quantitative solid-phase cytometry

    • Environmental Microbiology

    • In order to elucidate the main predictors of Vibrio cholerae dynamics and to estimate the risk of V.cholerae related diseases, a recently developed direct detection approach based on FISH and solid phase cytometry (CARD-FISH/SPC) was applied in comparison to cultivation for water samples from the lake Neusiedler See, Austria and three shallow alkaline lakes over a period of 20 months. V.cholerae attached to crustacean zooplankton was quantified via FISH and epifluorescence microscopy.
