Sanitary risk in the handling of home‐prepared enteral formulations: A cross‐sectional assessment of microbiological contamination and food safety

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Studies show increased use of home enteral nutrition (HEN) owing to its benefits. However, knowledge about the sanitary risks of handling home‐prepared formulas remains limited despite their high contamination rates. This study aimed to assess the sanitary risks in the handling of home‐prepared enteral formulations by analyzing ...

Microbiological safety in the reuse of materials in home enteral nutrition: A quantitative in vitro experimental study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In home enteral nutrition (HEN), the reuse of packaging and administration materials beyond the recommended period, combined with inadequate hygiene practice, increase the risk of microbiological contamination. This study assessed the risk through a simulation that reproduced real‐world usage conditions and hygiene practices ...

Discriminating Between Living and Dead Bacteria With a Field‐Effect Transistor Based on Nano‐Channels

Small, EarlyView.
Bacterial viability is determined in a complex environment with a field‐effect biological transistor with a limit of detection of a single bacterium. Living, antibiotic‐treated, thermally denatured, and inhibited E. coli generate distinct electrical signatures, enabling label‐free single‐cell detection and providing new opportunities for rapid ...
