Spring 2019
The safety of low water activity (aW) foods is a concern due to the survival of low-infectious dose pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella. Desiccation of non-heat resistant E. coli and Salmonella increases their heat resistance; therefore, a non-thermal alternative is necessary to...

Effects of high-pressure carbon dioxide on microbial quality and germination of cereal grains and beans
Download2021-09-01
Fang, Yuan, Franke, Claudia, Manthei, Alina, McMullen, Lynn, Temelli, Feral, Gänzle, Michael G.
Decontamination of low aw foods without impairing the food quality is challenging, particularly for sprouting seeds. This study aimed to explore the lethality of high pressure carbon dioxide (HPCD) to Salmonella enterica, E. coli AW1.7, A. niger, P. roquforti, and Fusarium on beans, cereal...

Efficacy of conventional and novel antimicrobial treatments on the inactivation of desiccated cells and biofilms of Salmonella
DownloadSpring 2024
Repeated isolation of Salmonella from the dry and wet environments of the food industry poses a significant concern to human health. It is crucial to understand the influence of the various environmental conditions on Salmonella’s survival. The overall objective of this research was to evaluate...

In silico and empirical analyses of the evolution and activity of diverse AB5 toxins found within the Salmonella genus
DownloadFall 2023
Bacterial AB5 toxins are secreted protein complexes composed of an enzymatic A subunit that disrupts host cell functions and a pentameric B subunit that facilitates cellular entry of the toxin by binding to specific cell surface receptors. AB5 toxins are widely recognized for their roles in the...
