Biofilm formation in Campylobacter jejuni [PDF]
The major gastrointestinal pathogen Campylobacter jejuni is shown to exist as three forms of monospecies biofilm in liquid culture. It attaches to a glass surface; forms an unattached aggregate (floc); and forms a pellicle at the liquid–gas interface. The three forms of biofilm resemble each other when examined by scanning electron microscopy.

Abstract FtsZ forms a ring‐like assembly at the site of division in bacteria. It is the first protein involved in the formation of the divisome complex to split the cell into two halves, indicating its importance in bacterial cell division. FtsZ is an attractive target for developing new anti‐microbial drugs to overcome the challenges of antibiotic ...

Inactivation of Campylobacter jejuni by exposure to high-intensity 405-nm visible light [PDF]
Although considerable research has been carried out on a range of environmental factors that impact on the survival of Campylobacter jejuni, there is limited information on the effects of violet/blue light on this pathogen. This investigation was carried

ELECTRON MICROSCOPY OF CAMPYLOBACTER JEJUNI [PDF]
Stools from 56 patients with gastroenteritis were cultured for Campylobacter jejuni. The five strains isolated were examined by electron microscopy. The campylobacter cells were pleomorphic and most displayed appearances similar to those of V. fetus. Morphological changes were observed in cultures subjected to prolonged incubation.

Long‐term migration to high‐altitude areas can readily result in chronic high‐altitude diseases; however, effective prevention and treatment methods are currently lacking. This study employed a multi‐omics approach, integrating metagenomics and metabolomics, to discover and validate that the decreased abundance of Veillonella rogosae, Streptococcus ...

Genomic relatedness within five common Finnish Campylobacter jejuni pulsed-field gel electrophoresis genotypes studied by amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis, ribotyping and serotyping [PDF]
Thirty-five Finnish Campylobacter jejuni strains with five SmaI/SacII pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) genotypes selected among human and chicken isolates from 1997 and 1998 were used for comparison of their PFGE patterns, amplified fragment ...

A Critical Overview of Common Foodborne Toxicants and Methods for Their Reliable Detection
ABSTRACT Food is an essential commodity for human health. However, toxicants such as mycotoxins, heavy metals, acrylamide, and pesticides can be present in food either naturally or through processing, packaging, or some anthropogenic activities. A thorough review of carefully selected studies revealed that climate change and pandemics have led to an ...
