Effect of Preservatives on Shiga Toxigenic Phages and Shiga Toxin of Escherichia coli O157:H7

Journal of Food Protection, 2012
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

Deciphering contaminants and toxins in fermented food for enhanced human health safeguarding

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 23, Issue 5, September 2024.
Abstract Fermented foods have been a component of the human diet since ancient times, including live bacteria employed to restore gut health, contributing to the frontline of functional food progression. Human concern about the harmful consequences of possible contaminants has increased significantly as their toxicity, carcinogenicity, and ...

Public health aspects of Vibrio spp. related to the consumption of seafood in the EU

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus and non‐O1/non‐O139 Vibrio cholerae are the Vibrio spp. of highest relevance for public health in the EU through seafood consumption. Infection with V. parahaemolyticus is associated with the haemolysins thermostable direct haemolysin (TDH) and TDH‐related haemolysin (TRH) and mainly leads to acute ...

Contribution of MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry and machine learning including deep learning techniques for the detection of virulence factors of Clostridioides difficile strains

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2024.
This study assessed the use of MALDI‐TOF Mass Spectrometry combined with Machine Learning including Deep Learning techniques to identify toxigenic and hypervirulent strains of Clostridioides difficile. The method demonstrated high accuracy, particularly in excluding non‐toxigenic strains with a negative predictive value of 0.95 and consistently high ...

Addressing the safety of new food sources and production systems

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 23, Issue 3, May 2024.
Abstract New food sources and production systems (NFPS) are garnering much attention, driven by international trade, changing consumer preferences, potential sustainability benefits, and innovations in climate‐resilient food production systems. However, NFPS can introduce new challenges for food safety agencies and food manufacturers.

Synergisric effects of bacteriophages and antibiotics against Shiga toxigenic Escherichia Coli isolatrd from diarrheic calves [PDF]

The Iranian Journal of Veterinary Science and Technology
This study investigated the potential of coliphages as a means of decreasing the amount of antibiotics needed for treatment. Shigatoxigenic E.Coli (STEC) strains were isolated from diarrheic calves within the Hama governorate, Syria.
