Control of Blown Pack Spoilage in Vacuum Packaged Meat [PDF]

, 2009
End of project reportBlown pack spoilage (BPS) represents a significant commercial loss to Irish meat processors. This research discovered that the organisms causing BPS are ubiquitous in the abattoir environment, making eradication very difficult.

A tetraspecific VHH-based neutralizing antibody modifies disease outcome in three animal models of Clostridium difficile infection [PDF]

, 2016
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), a leading cause of nosocomial infection, is a serious disease in North America, Europe, and Asia. CDI varies greatly from asymptomatic carriage to life-threatening diarrhea, toxic megacolon, and toxemia.

Effects of Temperature, pH, and Agitation on Growth and Butanol Production of Clostridium acetobutylicum, Clostridium beijerinckii, and Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum

Environmental and Climate Technologies
Butanol is a promising alternative to fossil-derived fuels. Clostridium genus bacteria are known for their ability to produce butanol as one of the metabolites, however, at the moment this solution is not economically viable.

The Applications of Sensors and Biosensors in Investigating Drugs, Foods, and Nutraceuticals

Sensors, 2019
The present Special Issue is focused on developing and applying several sensors, biosensor devices, and actuators for the analysis of drugs, foods, and nutraceuticals. Some applications concern classical topics, such as clostridium determination in dairy

Probing the Geometry of Data with Diffusion Fréchet Functions [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Many complex ecosystems, such as those formed by multiple microbial taxa, involve intricate interactions amongst various sub-communities. The most basic relationships are frequently modeled as co-occurrence networks in which the nodes represent the various players in the community and the weighted edges encode levels of interaction.

Fortification of FeS Clusters Reshapes Anaerobic CO Dehydrogenase into an Air‐Viable Enzyme through Multilayered Sealing of O2 Tunnels

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
The inherent O2 sensitivity of Ni–Fe carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (CODHs), crucial for rapid CO to CO2 interconversion, presents substantial challenges for industrial application. Transforming CO/CO2, a prevalent anthropogenic air pollutant, into valuable carbon chemicals either directly or through intermediate steps via biocatalytic methods offers a

Noncoding RNAs in Host–Microbiota Interaction

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The intricate interplay between gut microbiota and the host exerts a profound impact on host biological processes and disease development. This review highlights the pivotal role of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in this interaction. Host ncRNAs regulate gene expression and microbiota composition, whereas microbial small RNAs (sRNAs) modulate host gene ...

Mobile genetic elements in Clostridium difficile and their role in genome function. [PDF]

, 2015
Approximately 11% the Clostridium difficile genome is made up of mobile genetic elements which have a profound effect on the biology of the organism. This includes transfer of antibiotic resistance and other factors that allow the organism to survive ...

Some simple rules for estimating reproduction numbers in the presence of reservoir exposure or imported cases [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
The basic reproduction number ($R_0$) is a threshold parameter for disease extinction or survival in isolated populations. However no human population is fully isolated from other human or animal populations. We use compartmental models to derive simple rules for the basic reproduction number for populations with local person-to-person transmission and
