The draft genome sequence of Staphylococcus saprophyticus DPC5671, isolated from cheddar cheese, was determined. S. saprophyticus is a common Gram-positive bacterium detected on the surface of smear-ripened cheese and other fermented foods.

Objective(s): Antibacterial materials are so significant in the textile industry, water disinfection, medicine, and food packaging. Unfortunately, organic compounds for sterilization show toxicity to the human body; therefore, the interest in inorganic disinfectants such as metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) is increasing. Materials and Methods: Nickel and nickel hydroxide nanoparticles (NiNPs ...

Food pathogens contaminate food products that allow their growth on the shelf and also 8 under refrigerated conditions. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to lower the limit of detection 9 (LOD) of the method used and to obtain the results within hours to few days. Biosensor methods 10 exploit the available technologies to individuate and provide an approximate quantification of the 11 bacte...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Paper and paperboard packaging play an important role in safety and quality of food products. Common bacteria of paper and paperboard food packaging could grow due to specific conditions included humidity, temperature and major nutrition to contaminate the food. The purpose of this research was to investigate numbers and the types of bacteria in the food packaging pape...

The role of food in human exposure to antimicrobial-resistant bacteria is a growing food safety issue. The contribution of fruits and vegetables eaten raw to this exposure is still unclear. The evaluation of contamination levels of fruits, vegetables and the agricultural environment by third-generation cephalosporin (3GC)-resistant Gram-negative bacteria was performed by analyzing 491 samples o...

conclusions by combining the two tests, a rapid approach to estimation of most probable number of chlorinated methane utilizing bacteria is introduced. treatment by nanosilver particles was resulted in the easier and faster biodegradation of chloroform by bacteria. thus, degradation of these chlorinated compounds is more efficient compared to cometabolism. results most probable number of methyl...

Every living thing needs food, also known as nutrients. In nature, living things are connected through food webs. Food webs show us how animals and plants are related through feeding relationships, like birds eating fish. But how do nutrients get returned back into the food web? The answer is bacteria! Bacteria are impossible to see with the naked eye. But, they are found almost everywhere in t...

context traditional iranian medicine (tim) is a rich and valuable school of thought that believes medications are not the only effective approach for the treatment of diseases but that nutrition is also important. evidence acquisition our study includes two parts; the first is a book review of the canon of medicine by avicenna (10th and 11th centuries), in which we focus on finding and understa...

abstractbackground and objectives the oilseeds after cereal, the world's second largest food supply make up. environmental stress has always been one of the most important factors reducing crop yield and production are gone and counter or reduce the effects of stress as a useful strategy to increase the quality and quantity of the products has been considered. flooding conditions are said ...
