Seasonal Analysis of Pathogenic Escherichia coli Contamination in Vegetables, Washing Water, and Vendor Hygiene: Virulence Group Classification and Antibiotic Resistance

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2025.
From 874 samples of vegetables, water, and hand swabs, 782 (89.47%) tested positive for E. coli , all exceeding permissible limits. The E. coli O157:H7 strain was found in 8.69% of the samples. STEC genes were detected, with stx1 in 16.87% and stx2 in 16.75% of samples. EPEC was present in 9.2%, EIEC in 14.32%, and ETEC in 10.1% of the samples. No EAEC

Salmonella Presence and Risk Mitigation in Pet Foods: A Growing Challenge with Implications for Human Health

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 23, Issue 6, November 2024.
Abstract Pet food is increasingly recognized as a significant vehicle for the transmission of foodborne pathogens to humans. The intimate association between pets and their owners, coupled with the rising trend of feeding pets raw and unprocessed foods, contributes substantially to this issue. Salmonella contamination in pet food can originate from raw
