In the emerging issue of increased multi-resistant properties in foodborne pathogens, silver nano particles are being used increasingly as antimicrobial agents. Thus, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of Nano Colloidal Silver towards food-borne pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica Serovar Ty...

A study was done to characterize the shedding of foodborne pathogenic bacteria by Caenorhabditis elegans, evaluate the persistence of worm populations cocultured with foodborne pathogens, and determine if C. elegans disperses ingested pathogens in soil as a result of shedding. Escherichia. coli O157:H7, Salmonella enterica serotype Poona, and Listeria monocytogenes, as well as E. coli OP50, a n...

In the emerging issue of increased multi-resistant properties in foodborne pathogens, silver nano particles are being used increasingly as antimicrobial agents. Thus, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of Nano Colloidal Silver towards food-borne pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica Serovar Ty...

The aim of this work was to study the interaction of corrugated and plastic materials with pathogenic and spoiling microorganisms frequently associated to fresh produce. The effect of the two packaging materials on the survival during the storage of microorganisms belonging to the species Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enteritidis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Lactobacillus p...

Injection of human pathogenic bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes) into the hemocoel of honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) workers kills the infected bees. The bee-killing effects of the pathogens were affected by temperature, and the LD₅₀ values at 37°C were more than 100-fold lower than those at 15°C. Gene-dis...

Consumption of chicken meat and its products, especially sausage, have increased in recent years. However, this product is susceptible to microbial contamination during manufacturing, which compromises its shelf life. The flavoring and preservative activities of essential oils (EO) have been recognized and the application of these antimicrobial agents as natural active compounds in food preserv...

Biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) polymer was evaluated for its application as a material for antimicrobial food packaging. PLA films were incorporated with nisin to for control of foodborne pathogens. Antimicrobial activity of PLA/nisin films against Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Salmonella Enteritidis were evaluated in culture media and liquid foods (orange juice and...

The efficacy of electrolyzed oxidizing water for inactivating Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella enteritidis, and Listeria monocytogenes was evaluated. A five-strain mixture of E. coli O157:H7, S. enteritidis, or L. monocytogenes of approximately 10(8) CFU/ml was inoculated in 9 ml of electrolyzed oxidizing water (treatment) or 9 ml of sterile, deionized water (control) and incubated at 4 or ...

Classically, pathogenic bacteria are classified as intracellular or extracellular pathogens. Intracellular bacterial pathogens, as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Salmonella enterica, Brucella suis, or Listeria monocytogenes, can replicate within host cells. After entering the target host cell (professional or non-professional phagocyte), the intracellular pathogen follows vacuolar or cytosolic pat...

In this study, tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus L.) the amount of antioxidants and phenolic substances water-based extracts in various concentrations (25g/L, 50g/L, 100g/L) with aroma components plant was determined. Various food pathogens (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella enterica 13076, Listeria monocytogenes 43251) bacterial strains ((Gram-negative (Vibrio harveyi (KF443058), Vibrio vu...
