Thermal stability and structural changes in bacterial toxins responsible for food poisoning
The staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) are secreted by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and are the most common causative agent in staphylococcal food poisoning. The staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) has been associated with large staphylococcal food poisoning outbreaks, but newer identified SEs, like staphylococcal enterotoxin H (SEH) has recently been shown to be present at similar levels a...
متن کاملStructural studies of superantigens: Crystal structure of Streptococcus dysgalactiae-derived mitogen (SDM)
Superantigens are a family of bacterial and viral toxins that are able to induce a massive T-cell activation [1,2]. Compared to conventional antigens where only 0.0001-0.01% of T-cells are activated, superantigens are able to activate 10-30% of T-cells. Superantigen-induced T-cell activation results in an extensive production of inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor and interleu...
متن کاملEmerging food pathogens and bacterial toxins.
Many different foodborne diseases have been described. For example, Shigella bacteria, hepatitis A virus and Norwalk virus were shown as a unwashed hands microorganisms, but pathogen Campylobacter and Escherichia coli were named as raw and undercooked meat and poultry or raw milk and untreated water born bacteria. However, two of them: Listeria monocytogenes and Yersinia enterocolitica are know...
متن کاملPrediction of the changes in physicochemical properties of key lime juice during IR thermal processing by artificial neural networks
Thermal processing of the key lime juice leads to the inactivation of pectin methylesterase (PME) and the degradation of ascorbic acid (AA). These changes affect directly the cloud stability and color of the juice. In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was applied for designing and developing an intelligent system for prediction of the thermal processing effects on the physico...
متن کاملThe story of Clostridium botulinum: from food poisoning to Botox.
In the last fifty years, Clostridium botulinum has become notorious for its ability to produce the deadly botulinum neurotoxins. While botulinum toxin A, better known as Botox, is universally recognised by the public as a cosmetic enhancement tool, the botulinum neurotoxins are commonly used off-label for many medical conditions in ophthalmology, neurology and dermatology. The versatility of th...
