Opinion of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on defining pathogenic strains of Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 3, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are pathogenic E. coli strains that have been associated with a wide range of human clinical illness ranging from mild diarrhoea to bloody diarrhoea (BD) and haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). In its opinion of 18 May 2017, the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety

The in vitro Effect of Heat, Lactic Acid-Silver Nanoparticle Combination on Shiga Toxigenic Escherichia coli

Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture, 2022
Lactic acid and silver nanoparticle compositions’ effects as antimicrobial to reduce Shiga Toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) contamination were studied in vitro conditions. Four silver nanoparticle sizes, 20, 40, 100, 150 nm with lactic acid (LA) solutions of 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, were applied and heated in a water bath to 20°C, 40°C and 50°C.

Report of the Scientific Committee of the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) on the effects of climate change on the risk of transmission of foodborne pathogens

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 3, July 2025.
Abstract The Scientific Committee of the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) has carried out an updated review of the scientific evidence on the influence of climate change on the transmission of foodborne pathogens. This global phenomenon represents an emerging threat to food safety and public health, since alterations in weather ...

Identification and Classification of Multi‐Species Biofilms on Polymeric Surfaces Using Hyperspectral Imaging

Journal of Food Safety, Volume 45, Issue 1, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Biofilm‐associated contamination poses significant challenges to the food industry, particularly in ensuring effective sanitization and reliable detection. This study explores the use of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) range for non‐destructive detection and classification of biofilms on thermoplastic polyurethane (

Cultivated meat microbiological safety considerations and practices

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Cultivated meat, produced using cell culture technology, is an alternative to conventional meat production that avoids the risks from enteric pathogens associated with animal slaughter and processing. Cultivated meat therefore has significant theoretical microbiological safety advantages, though limited information is available to validate ...

Unraveling the Resistome, Virulome, and Pathogenicity of Escherichia Coli O157:H7 From Cattle Feces

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Antimicrobial‐resistant Escherichia coli, especially those belonging to the serotype O157, are increasingly linked to foodborne diseases with significant fatality rates worldwide. The food and medical industries have focused on E. coli O157:H7 due to its ability to produce toxins coupled with its low infectious dose. The aim of this study was to assess

Identification of mcr-2 and mcr-3 Genes in Colistin‐Resistant E. coli O157:H7 Isolated From Raw Meat Samples in Beirut, Lebanon

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Colistin is a last‐resort antibiotic used to treat multidrug‐resistant Gram‐negative bacterial infections. The global emergence of colistin resistance has been attributed to plasmid‐mediated mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes. In Lebanon, bacteria carrying the mcr-1 gene have increasingly been identified in food animal sources.
