Survival of Fecal Coliforms in Frozen Vegetable Homogenates
The resistance to freezing of fecal coliforms isolated from frozen vegetables was compared to that of Escherichia coli isolated from fecal sources. The objective was to see if lower resistance to freezing might explain frozen vegetable samples that contain fecal coliforms but not E. coli .

Survival of fecal coliforms and fecal streptococci in storm drain sediment [PDF]
Abstract This study defined major factors influencing the survival of the bacterial indicators, fecal coliforms (FC) and fecal streptococci (FS), in separate storm drain sediments during dry weather periods. FC and FS abilities to survive were determined by field sampling and experimental treatments of laboratory stream models.

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Infant Botulism: A Case Study in Integrated Clinical and Public Health Response
ABSTRACT Early recognition of constipation, feeding difficulty, and descending weakness in infants is vital for prompt diagnosis of infant botulism. Bedside nerve studies support early treatment. Rapid public health notification and coordinated access to specific therapies, including timely use of BAT and BIG‐IV, are essential to optimize outcomes and ...
