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...

Hu, Ziyi, Rohde, Alina, McMullen, Lynn, Gänzle, Michael G.
Cattle are a reservoir for enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), and ground beef is a major vehicle for human infection with EHEC. Heat resistance of E. coli, including EHEC, is impacted by NaCl and other additives. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of NaCl and other additives on the...

The pressure resistance of Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) depends on food matrix. This study compared the resistance of two five-strain E. coli cocktails, as well as the pressure resistant strain E. coli AW1.7, to hydrostatic pressure application in bruschetta, tzatziki, yoghurt...

Environmental Risk Factors Associated with Contamination of Private Drinking Water Wells with Escherichia coli
DownloadFall 2014
The focus of this research was to identify environmental risk factors that play a critical role in the contamination of drinking water wells with Escherichia coli. This study used data from a case control-study carried out between April 2005 and September 2006 in Ontario and Alberta, using...

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...

During food processing, Escherichia coli are exposed to stress from oxidation, osmolarity and temperature, and have developed mechanisms to survive. A highly heat resistant strain of E. coli AW1.7 was isolated from a beef carcass after thermal processing and it has a genomic island called the...

Strains of Escherichia coli may survive heat or pressure stress, acquire specific virulence genes and cause severe human diseases. The locus of heat resistance (LHR) has been identified as an important heat resistant element in E. coli. The objective of this thesis was to explore the role of the...

Heat and Pressure Resistance of Escherichia coli and Its Inactivation In the Presence of Antimicrobial Compounds
DownloadFall 2014
Verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) are pathogens causing severe foodborne disease. E. coli AW1.7 is a heat resistant beef carcass isolate that may be used as a surrogate organism to study the survival of VTEC on food. This dissertation examines the heat and pressure resistance of E. coli and...

Escherichia coli and Salmonella are contaminants in meat products and pose a risk for foodborne illness. Thermal lethality is the traditional method for controlling pathogens in meat products. It is recommended that ground beef and poultry products be cooked to internal temperatures of 71°C and...

Fall 2011
The mechanism of heat resistance in an exceptionally resistant strain of E. coli was investigated. E. coli AW1.7 was compared to a heat sensitive strain, E. coli GGG10. The heat resistance of both strains was increased by inclusion of NaCl, but only E. coli AW1.7 exhibited a consistent heat...
