Bayesian modeling of two-species bacterial competition growth and decline rates in milk [PDF]
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157: H7 is a food-borne pathogen and the major cause of hemorrhagic colitis. Pseudomonas is the genus most frequent psychrotrophic spoilage microorganisms present in milk. Two-species bacterial systems with Escherichia coli O157: H7, non-pathogenic Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas fluorescens in skimmed milk at ...

Surface adhesins and exopolymers of selected foodborne pathogens [PDF]
The ability of bacteria to bind different compounds and to adhere to biotic and abiotic surfaces provides them with a range of advantages, such as colonization of various tissues, internalisation, avoidance of an immune response and survival and ...

Effect of Preservatives on Shiga Toxigenic Phages and Shiga Toxin of Escherichia coli O157:H7
Toxin synthesis by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) appears to be coregulated through the induction of the integrated bacteriophages that encode the toxin genes. These phages might be the principal means for the dissemination and release of Shiga toxins. We evaluated the effect of three common food preservatives, potassium sorbate, sodium

Detection of Metallo-\b{eta}-Lactamases-Encoding Genes Among Clinical Isolates of Escherichia Coli in a Tertiary Care Hospital, Malaysia [PDF]
The multidrug resistant Escherichia coli strains causes multiple clinical infections and has become a rising problem globally. The metallo-\b{eta}-lactamases encoding genes are very severe in gram-negative bacteria especially E. coli. This study was aimed to evaluate the prevalence of MBLs among the clinical isolates of E. coli. A total of 65 E.

Localization of protein aggregation in Escherichia coli is governed by diffusion and nucleoid macromolecular crowding effect [PDF]
Aggregates of misfolded proteins are a hallmark of many age-related diseases. Recently, they have been linked to aging of Escherichia coli (E. coli) where protein aggregates accumulate at the old pole region of the aging bacterium. Because of the potential of E.

Animals as sources of food-borne pathogens: A review
Food-producing animals are the major reservoirs for many foodborne pathogens such as Campylobacter species, non-Typhi serotypes of Salmonella enterica, Shiga toxin-producing strains of Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes.

Characterizing RecA-Independent Induction of Shiga toxin2-encoding Phages by EDTA Treatment [PDF]
The bacteriophage life cycle has an important role in Shiga toxin (Stx) expression. The induction of Shiga toxin-encoding phages (Stx phages) increases toxin production as a result of replication of the phage genome, and phage lysis of the host cell also
