Salmonella Infection on Arabidopsis Seedlings Requires Both Host and Pathogen Factors
(2012-02-14)
Human enteric pathogen Salmonella contaminates raw produce and triggers significant economic loss and illness. Under a natural environment, Salmonella resides in soil and enters the interior of plants without causing disease ...
Quantitative Herd-level Evaluation of a Commercially Available Vaccine for Control of Salmonella in Dairy Cattle
(2012-02-14)
Salmonella continues to threaten public health as well as negatively impact dairy producers on multiple levels. Efficacious solutions to control Salmonella among dairy cattle have long been sought to alleviate these ...
Immune Response and Salmonella Clearance in Broiler Chickens after Fed Arginine, Vitamin E and Prebiotics
(2012-02-14)
Four experiments were conducted to evaluate effects of arginine (ARG), vitamin E (VE) and mannanoligosaccharide (MOS) on immune response and clearance of Salmonella in broiler chickens. There were 4 groups in Exp.1 (E.1) ...
Controlling Salmonella in Poultry using Bacteriophages
(2012-10-19)
Public health concerns associated with high prevalence of foodborne salmonellosis, the emergence of antibiotic-resistant organisms and the identification of poultry meat and products as one of the most common sources of ...
Quantification of the Antimicrobial Substances Produced by Lactic Acid Bacteria used as an Intervention to Inhibit Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in vitro and on Fresh Spinach (Spinacia oleracea)
(2012-02-14)
The metabolic activity of bacterial microorganisms may influence the growth and metabolic activities of other microbes that are present in any specific niche. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are antagonistic to some microbial ...
Electron Beam Irradiation for Improving Safety of Fruits and Vegetables
(2012-07-16)
Increase in consumption of fresh cut produce over the past decade has resulted in
a rise in incidents of food borne outbreaks due to pathogens. Conventional techniques of
sanitizing washes may not be effective since the ...
Comparison of Current Almond Pasteurization Methods and Electron Beam Irradiation as an Alternative
(2012-02-14)
Two outbreaks of salmonellosis were linked to the consumption of raw California almonds in 2001 and 2004. Current federal regulations mandate that all almonds grown in California are to be treated with a process that results ...
Targeted Inactivation of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium in Fresh Cantaloupe Flesh (Cucumis melo L.) Using Electron Beam Irradiation
(2011-08-08)
Food irradiation is costly in terms of the energy utilized and the time spent, therefore, it is imperative to optimize it in order to avoid sub lethal dose or an overdose both of which have detrimental effects on the quality ...
Identification of Novel Virulence Genes of Salmonella enterica Using an Array Based Analysis of Cistrons Under Selection
(2011-08-08)
Pools of mutants of minimal complexity but maximal coverage of genes of
interest facilitate screening for genes under selection in a particular environment. Prior to
this work, mutants were generated by random transposon ...
Simulation of Contamination Through the Post-Harvest Environment Using Surrogate Organisms
(2011-10-21)
The beef industry has made tremendous strides in reducing pathogen contamination on carcasses. Multiple antimicrobial interventions have been validated for their use during harvesting. Information in regards to cross-contamination ...
