Effect of chitosan, and bacteriocin – Producing Carnobacterium maltaromaticum on survival of Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium on beef
Download2018-01-01
Hu, Zi Yi, Balay, Danielle, Hu, Ying, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
The aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic effect of chitosan and bacteriocins against Escherichia coli and Salmonella in media and in lean beef. The inhibitory effects of chitosan and bacteriocins against E. coli AW1.7 and S. enterica Typhimurium in media were determined by a...

Laidlaw, Anna M., Gänzle, Michael G., Yang, Xianqin
Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) is a molecular method commonly used to detect and quantify bacterial DNA on food but is limited by its inability to distinguish between live and dead cell DNA. To overcome this obstacle, propidium monoazide (PMA) alone or with deoxycholate (DC) was...

The current recommended vitamin D intake guideline for diet and supplements during pregnancy is not adequate to achieve vitamin D sufficiency for most pregnant women
Download2016
Maggiore, Jack A., Eliasziw, Misha, Rabi, Doreen, O'Beirne, Maeve, Field, Catherine J., Hanley, David A., Dewey, Deborah, Aghajafari, Fariba, Weinberg, Amy, Kaplan, Bonnie J., Ross, Sue
Background The aims of this study were to determine if pregnant women consumed the recommended vitamin D through diet alone or through diet and supplements, and if they achieved the current reference range vitamin D status when their reported dietary intake met the current recommendations....

Influence of cyclopropane fatty acids on heat, high pressure, acid, and oxidative stress resistance in Escherichia coli
Download2016-01-01
Chen, Yuan Yao, Gänzle, Michael G.
Heat and high pressure resistant strains of Escherichia coli are a challenge to food safety. This study investigated effects of cyclopropane fatty acids (CFAs) on stress tolerance in the heat- and pressure-resistant strain E. coli AW1.7 and the sensitive strain E. coli MG1655. The role of CFAs...

Effect of hydrostatic pressure and antimicrobial on survival of Listeria monocytogenes and enterohaemorrhagic E.coli in beef
Download2016-01-01
The effects of marinades on Listeria monocytogenes and enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli were investigated in pressure treated beef steaks. Meat was treated with 600 MPa or 450 MPa. Marinades did not enhance pressure inactivation of E. coli in beef steaks and marinades prevented...

Garcia-Hernandez, Rigoberto, Ruan, Lifang, Gänzle, Michael G., Zheng, Jinshui, Mercer, Ryan G., McMullen, Lynn M.
Escherichia coli AW1.7 is a heat resistant food isolate and the occurrence of pathogenic strains with comparable heat resistance may pose a risk to food safety. To identify the genetic determinants of heat resistance, 29 strains of E. coli that differed in their of heat resistance were analyzed...

Koleva, Petya, Ketabi, Ali, Dieleman, Levinus A., Gänzle, Michael G., Valcheva, Rosica
Non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDO) were shown to reduce inflammation in experimental colitis, but it remains unclear whether microbiota changes mediate their colitis-modulating effects. This study assessed intestinal microbiota and intestinal inflammation after feeding chemically defined...

The role of intestinal microbiota in development of irinotecan toxicity and in toxicity reduction through dietary fibres in rats
Download2014
Baracos, Vickie, Dieleman, Levinus, Farhangfar, Arazm, Lin, Xiaoxi B., Gänzle, Michael G., Sawyer, Michael B., Valcheva, Rosica, Schieber, Andreas
CPT-11 is a drug used as chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. CPT-11 causes toxic side-effects in patients. CPT-11 toxicity has been attributed to the activity of intestinal microbiota, however, intestinal microbiota may also have protective effects in CP!-11 chemotherapy. This study aimed to...

Improving beef hamburger quality and fatty acid profiles through dietary manipulation and exploitation of fat depot heterogeneity
Download2014
Dugan, Michael E. R., Rolland, David C., Uttaro, Bethany, Aalhus, Jennifer L., Block, Hushton C., Vahmani, Payam, Mapiye, Cletos, Proctor, Spencer D., McAllister, Timothy A.
Background Hamburger is the most consumed beef product in North America, but lacks in nutritional appeal due to its high fat content and high proportion of saturated fatty acids (SFA). Objectives of the present study were to improve the FA profiles of hamburgers made with perirenal fat (PRF) and...
