the objectives of this study were to assess the microbiological quality of egyptian yoghurt and to investigate the antagonistic activity of some probiotic bacteria against some food borne pathogens in vitro and in yoghurt. the results indicated a poor microbiological quality of yoghurt, since the microbiological parameters recorded higher values than the admissible levels. results from the agar...

Abstract Background The efficiency of synthetic preservation in shelf life extension food is well documented, but the hazardous side effects associated with it are posing serious threat to industry. Therefore, this present research work aimed at determining suitability yeast metabolite as an alternative natural preservative agent food. Results results obtained revealed that seventy-three isolat...

The rapid detection of pathogens in food is becoming increasingly critical for ensuring the safety of consumers, since the majority of food-borne illnesses and deaths are caused by pathogenic bacteria. Hence, rapid, sensitive, inexpensive and convenient approaches to detect food-borne pathogenic bacteria is essential in controlling food safety. In this study, a multiplex PCR assay for the rapid...

Background: Food borne pathogens are of the main concerns of food producers and consumers and Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus create a lot of problems worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate antibacterial effects of monolaurin, sorbic acid and potassium sorbate on S. aureus and E. coli at different pH values and NaCl concentrations. Methods: Micro-well dilution assay was us...

Food borne illness is a serious public health problem. Number of Person dies as a result of food borne illnesses are primarily the very young, elderly and the immunocompromised. Recent changes in human demographics and food preferences, changes in food production and distribution systems, microbial adaptation, and lack of support for public health resources and infrastructure have led to the em...

Foodborne zoonoses are the most neglected discipline due to a lack of awareness potential health hazards, standardized detection methods, and identification infectious host reservoirs. Food is major carriage vehicle for transmission zoonotic pathogens many outbreaks globally. Resilient surveillance holistic intervention effective mitigation strategies at both preharvest (bacteriophages, probiot...
