Gut microbes are essential components of the human organism-helping us metabolize food into energy, produce micronutrients, and shape our immune systems. Having a particular pattern of gut microbes is also increasingly being linked to medical conditions including obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, and diabetes. Recent studies now indicate that our resident intestinal bacteria may also play a ...

UNLABELLED Antimicrobial peptides offer potential as novel therapeutics to combat food spoilage and poisoning caused by pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria. Our previous studies identified the peptide human beta-defensin 3 (HBD3) as a potent antimicrobial agent against a wide range of beer-spoiling bacteria. Thus, HBD3 is an excellent candidate for development as an additive to prevent food a...

pennyroyal, an aromatic herb, is considered by food and medicine industries. it grows in different countries and provides various technological and functional properties. essential oils (especially ‘pulegune’) are the effective materials of pennyroyal that causes anti-microbial, anti-oxidant and aromatic properties. these essential oils have significant effects on preventing growth of several s...

the aim of this work was identified lactic floraas a traditional fermented food and then evaluates antimicrobial activities of some strains. a total of 140 gram-positive and catalase-negative isolates were subjected to grouping by physiological and biochemical tests and carbohydrates fermentation. based on the resultsthese 140 isolateswere dividedinto 9 groups. two or three isolated were select...

INTRODUCTION Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) and Vibrio cholerae are common bacteria that infect people in developing countries. Nowadays, food preservation by freezing and refrigeration are very common practices that extend the shelf life of food products. Unfortunately, EAEC and V. cholerae are suspected to survive at low temperatures. METHODOLOGY Various foods and beverages used ...

conclusions therefore, development of rapid diagnostic methods with suitable sensitivity and specificity is very important about this infectious disease. in this review, we will discuss some of the important diagnostic methods. context diarrhea is a common disease across the world. according to who, every year about two billion cases of diarrhea are reported in the world. it occurs mainly in th...

Food preservation using high pressure is a promising technique in food industry as it offers numerous opportunities for developing new foods with extended shelf-life, high nutritional value and excellent organoleptic characteristics. High pressure is an alternative to thermal processing. The resistance of microorganisms to pressure varies considerably depending on the pressure range applied, te...
