PATHOGENIC STREPTOCOCCI AND MILK PASTEURIZATION

Pathogenic Streptococci and Milk Pasteurization.

D URING the investigation of a recent epidemic of septic sore throat' the writers of this article ook occasion to make a fairly extensive .urvey of the literature of the strepto:occi with special reference to their relaion to the spread of disease through milk. Che results of this survey, together with :ertain observations made in the course of he investigation, have impressed us with he fact t...

The pathogenic equine streptococci.

Streptococci pathogenic for the horse include S. equi (S. equi subsp. equi), S. zooepidemicus (S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus), S. dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis and S. pneumoniae capsule Type III. S. equi is a clonal descendent or biovar of an ancestral S. zooepidemicus strain with which it shares greater than 98% DNA homology and therefore expresses many of the same proteins and virulence fact...

Interspecies Communication among Commensal and Pathogenic Streptococci

UNLABELLED Quorum sensing (QS) regulates diverse and coordinated behaviors in bacteria, including the production of virulence factors, biofilm formation, sporulation, and competence development. It is now established that some streptococci utilize Rgg-type proteins in concert with short hydrophobic peptides (SHPs) to mediate QS, and sequence analysis reveals that several streptococcal species c...

Demonstrating the efficacy of the FoneAstra pasteurization monitor for human milk pasteurization in resource-limited settings.

UNLABELLED Human milk provides crucial nutrition and immunologic protection for infants. When a mother's own milk is unavailable, donated human milk, pasteurized to destroy bacteria and viruses, is a lifesaving replacement. Flash-heat pasteurization is a simple, low-cost, and commonly used method to make milk safe, but currently there is no system to monitor milk temperature, which challenges q...
