Microbiological hazards associated with the use of water in the post‐harvest handling and processing operations of fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables and herbs (ffFVHs). Part 1 (outbreak data analysis, literature review and stakeholder questionnaire)

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract The contamination of water used in post‐harvest handling and processing operations of fresh and frozen fruit, vegetables and herbs (ffFVHs) is a global concern. The most relevant microbial hazards associated with this water are: Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., human pathogenic Escherichia coli and enteric viruses, which have been ...

Phage‐Inducible Chromosomal Islands as a Diagnostic Platform to Capture and Detect Bacterial Pathogens

Advanced Science, Volume 10, Issue 24, August 25, 2023., 2023
In this report, a new PICI‐based platform is showcased to detect and identify bacteria. In contrast to other diagnostic approaches, this strategy can additionally distinguish whether the pathogens are alive. PICI‐based infection of target hosts is simple and efficient, allowing us to demonstrate the implementation of the technique in an easy‐to‐use ...

Sample and library preparation approaches for the analysis of the virome of irrigation water

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 103, Issue 9, Page 4450-4457, July 2023., 2023
Abstract BACKGROUND The virome (i.e. community of mainly RNA and DNA eukaryotic viruses and bacteriophages) of waters is yet to be extensively explored. In particular, the virome of waters used for irrigation could therefore potentially carry viral pathogens that can contaminate fresh produce.

Diversity, evolution and life strategies of CbK‐like phages

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 7, Page 1250-1264, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Caulobacter phage CbK has been extensively studied as a model system in virology and bacteriology. Lysogeny‐related genes have been found in each CbK‐like isolate, suggesting a life strategy of both lytic and lysogenic cycles. However, whether CbK‐related phages can enter lysogeny is still undetermined.
