Chlorine Inactivation of Escherichia coli O157:H7

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
We analyzed isolates of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (which has recently caused waterborne outbreaks) and wild-type E. coli to determine their sensitivity to chlorination. Both pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains were significantly reduced within 1 minute of exposure to free chlorine.

Direct PCR detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 [PDF]

Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2003
This paper reports a simple, rapid approach for the detection of Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC).Direct PCR (DPCR) obviates the need for the recovery of cells from the sample or DNA extraction prior to PCR. Primers specific for Stx-encoding genes stx1 and stx2 were used in DPCR for the detection of E.

Genome sequence of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 [PDF]

Nature, 2001
The bacterium Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a worldwide threat to public health and has been implicated in many outbreaks of haemorrhagic colitis, some of which included fatalities caused by haemolytic uraemic syndrome. Close to 75,000 cases of O157:H7 infection are now estimated to occur annually in the United States.

Experimental Escherichia coli O157:H7 carriage in calves [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1997
Nine weaned calves (6 to 8 weeks of age) were given 10(10) CFU of a five-strain mixture of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 by oral-gastric intubation. After an initial brief period of pyrexia in three calves and transient mild diarrhea in five calves, calves were clinically normal throughout the 13- to 27-day study. The population of E. coli

Dual Antimicrobial–Antioxidant Postbiotics From Lactiplantibacillus plantarum for Clean‐Label Meat Preservation

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
The postbiotics, which possess both antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, are derived from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains, revealing the presence of bioactive compounds. Functional assays showed strong antioxidant activity and strain‐specific antimicrobial effects. When applied to pork, these postbiotics significantly reduced microbial loads,

Mitigating Microbial Contamination in Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Using Ultraviolet C Irradiation: A Review

Food Safety and Health, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 272-279, April 2026.
Although fresh produce is extremely perishable and contaminated, it is essential for good health. To eliminate important foodborne pathogens, this paper investigates UV‐C irradiation as a safe, nonthermal technique. UV dose, exposure duration, and product characteristics all affect effectiveness.

Preservation Strategies for Camel Meat: Quality Improvement and Shelf‐Life Extension

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Camel meat, a crucial protein source in arid regions, faces challenges like high moisture content and susceptibility to spoilage, limiting its shelf life. Traditional methods such as salting, drying, and smoking have been used historically, while modern techniques like refrigeration, freezing, and vacuum packaging enhance quality and safety.
