Detection of Microbial Contaminants in Water: Conventional Methods, Pragmatic Alternatives, and Nanosensing Techniques

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Conventional culture and immunological methods of detecting bacterial water contaminants have some limitations. There are alternative pragmatic methods which are more efficient and faster in the detection of bacteria in water, especially nanosensors. ABSTRACT The complexities of microbial detection and conventional enumeration necessitates the adoption

Awareness of Microbiological Safety in Playgrounds Amid Rising Antibiotic Resistance

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
Playgrounds are identified as reservoirs for antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, posing a potential public health risk. Despite the existence of safety regulations for playground equipment, microbiological safety is treated superficially. Global strategies, including hygiene practices and antibacterial materials, are needed to reduce the spread of ...

Time‐Temperature Indicators on Food Products

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 4, October 2025.
Abstract Time‐temperature indicators (TTIs) are devices that measure the cumulative thermal exposure of food products and display it through a visible signal, such as a color change. TTIs may be based on chemical, enzymatic or microbiological principles. Their potential lies in providing dynamic, package‐specific information on remaining shelf life, in

Phage‐mediated horizontal transfer of Salmonella enterica virulence genes with regulatory feedback from the host

iMeta, Volume 4, Issue 4, August 2025.
In this study, we found evidence of phage‐mediated horizontal transfer of virulence genes in Salmonella enterica in global habitats from a molecular evolutionary perspective. Notably, csrA, a global regulator in Salmonella enterica, curbed horizontal gene transfer by inhibiting the cyclization and release of prophage.

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.
