Spring 2022
Self-cycling fermentation (SCF) is an advanced, automated, semi-continuous fermentation strategy that is used to improve the volumetric productivity of bioproduction. Typically, a microbial culture is grown in a reactor and half the reactor contents are harvested once a limiting nutrient is...

Spring 2022
Bacterial species in the order Enterobacterales populate diverse ecological niches including soil, water, nematodes, insects, plants, and vertebrates. Many Enterobacteriaceae temporarily inhabit the intestine of vertebrate hosts but also survive and thrive in extra-intestinal habitats to transit...

Fall 2024
Microorganisms are intricately linked with life on earth. The substantial enhancement of environment and human health is influenced largely due to their biotransformation potency. The comprehensive identification of bacterial byproducts can be accomplished by employing a systematic approach...

Characterization of Heat Resistant Escherichia coli Isolates Associated with Human Infection
DownloadSpring 2021
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a bacterial pathogen associated with foodborne diarrheal disease. Infection with STEC presents as a mild, watery diarrhea to hemorrhagic colitis and can progress to the life-threatening complication, hemolytic uremic syndrome. Cattle are recognized...

Antimicrobial Use Surveillance Indicators: Use and Practicality in Salmonid Aquaculture Settings
DownloadFall 2021
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a unique threat to One Health, and salmonid aquaculture industries are increasingly challenged to demonstrate responsible antimicrobial stewardship. Indicators and metrics to quantify antimicrobial use (AMU) data can comparatively enhance understanding of...

Antimicrobial applications of treatments using light pulses emitted from light emitting diodes (LED)
DownloadSpring 2022
Low water activity (aw) foods have been associated with several foodborne outbreaks and recalls. Eradication of foodborne microorganisms like Salmonella and Escherichia coli from low aw foods is challenging, as they are resistant to conventional decontamination practices. High intensity light...

Characterization of novel envelope proteins and their relationship with the Cpx response and stress resistance in Escherichia coli
DownloadFall 2022
Stress is a major factor every organism needs to mitigate to survive. Environmental factors such as oxygen content, temperature, and alkalinity can all induce stress and prevent life from progressing. For Escherichia coli and other members of the mammalian gastrointestinal tract they need to...

A Polyphasic Perspective on Escherichia coli Niche-Specificity: The Characterization of Naturalized, Wastewater-Specific E. coli and the Emergence of Wastewater Treatment Resistance in the Microbial World
DownloadFall 2024
Although typically considered to be capable of colonizing and transiting between several different niches, evidence suggests that the Escherichia coli species exhibits a significant degree of host- and niche-specificity. This has led to the hypothesis that E. coli taxonomy may be more...

Spring 2019
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...

Fall 2017
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...
