  11. Effect of Plant-Derived Antimicrobials Against Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella Heidelberg in Ground Turkey

    • Poultry Science

    • Author(s): Grace Dewi, Shijinaraj Manjankattil, Claire Peichel, Shiliang Jia, Divek Nair, Zata Vickers, Timothy J. Johnson, Carol Cardona, Sally Noll, Anup Kollanoor Johny Salmonella Heidelberg (SH) is a highly invasive human pathogen for which turkeys can serve as reservoir hosts. Colonization of turkeys with SH may result in potential contamination and is a greater challenge to prevent in comminuted products.

  21. The enigma of Pacini’s Vibrio cholerae discovery

    • Microbiology

    • During the 1854 cholera outbreak in Florence, Italy, Filippo Pacini documented that the cause of the infection was a bacterium. This conclusion was also independently reached by John Snow during the 1854 cholera outbreak in London. By using an epidemiological method, Snow found that the infection spread through a polluted water network. Snow identified a water pump as the source of the disease. After removing the infected handle of this pump, the cases of cholera rapidly began to decrease.

  23. Prediction of Soil Heavy Metal Distribution Using Geographically Weighted Regression Kriging

    • Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology

    • Both soil heavy metals and the influencing factors are related to spatial location and are spatially heterogeneous. However, the global linear regression model assumes the regression coefficients to be spatially stationary throughout the study region and is unable to account for the spatially varying relationships between soil heavy metals and influencing factors.

  24. Pulsed Light (PL) Treatments on Almond Kernels: Salmonella enteritidis Inactivation Kinetics and Infrared Thermography Insights

    • Food and Bioprocess Technology

    • Abstract Extending the shelf-life and ensuring microbiological safety of food products while preserving the nutritional properties are key aspects that must be addressed. Heat processing of food matrices has been the golden standard during the last decades, while certain non-thermal processing options have recently gained ground. In the present study, experimental pulsed light (PL) surface inactivation treatments of Salmonella enteritidis on almonds kernels are performed.

  25. Transcriptomic Profile of the Cockle Cerastoderma edule Exposed to Seasonal Diarrhetic Shellfish Toxin Contamination

    • Toxins

    • Bivalves constitute an important source of proteins for human consumption, but some accumulate biotoxins such as diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs), constituting a risk to human health. The cockle Cerastoderma edule is one of the most important species harvested in the Portuguese coast but also one of the most affected species due to recurrent DSTs exposure. However, little is known regarding the effects of the toxins produced by blooming dinoflagellates on C. edule.
