Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of relevant knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Nicotinamide Attenuates Complement and Coagulation Pathways and Resultant Renal Fibrosis
The coagulation and complement cascades were elevated in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and may contribute to both kidney injury and cardiovascular risk. These excessive signals and the associated innate immune responses were suppressed by the NAD+ precursor nicotinamide (NAM).

HUS is the most common cause of acute renal failure in infants and young children and follows a diarrheal prodrome about 90% of the time. Persuasive evidence shows that virtually all of postdiarrheal cases are caused by EHEC infections, and that the great majority of cases in the United States are caused by the EHEC serotype O157:H7.
