From Nuisance to Resource: Understanding Microbial Sources of Contamination in Urban Stormwater-Impacted Bodies of Water Intended for Water Reuse Activities
DownloadSpring 2019
Harvesting stormwater provides the province of Alberta, Canada, with a strategy to address the growing demands on water resources due to climate change and projected population growth. However, stormwater reuse poses a variety of challenges due to the potential of this source to be of low water...

Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains are pathogens which frequently cause human intestinal diseases. The main virulence factor Shiga toxin (Stx) is encoded by the gene located on the Stx prophage and gene expression is affected by the diversity of Stx prophage genome. Nineteen...

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulate a variety of normal cellular processes, many of which are conserved across eukaryotes and prokaryotes. One PTM, protein glycosylation with the reversible modification of O-GlcNAc, is well studied in eukaryotes. However, evidence for its existence...

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...

The Spatiotemporal Occurrence and Recovery of Shiga Toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in Well-sourced Drinking Water from Southern Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2018
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are important enteric pathogens that cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, as well as in Canada. Drinking water is a key exposure pathway for STEC infection and the occurrence of these pathogens in drinking water sources represents an...

High Intensity Pulsed Light Emitting Diode (LED) Treatment for Simultaneous Salmonella Inactivation and Drying of Wheat Flour and Pet Food
DownloadSpring 2020
According to the world health organization, almost 600 million people, or 1 in 10 people suffer from foodborne illnesses globally. Food industry uses several intervention methods to produce safe food products however, cases of food recalls and outbreaks due to microbial pathogens keep increasing...

Escherichia coli (ATCC 13706) is susceptible to retapamulin, an antimicrobial semisynthetic derivative of pleuromutilin
Download2021-04-16
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a top 10 global threat to human health, as well as a major global health threat to animals and the environment. AMR can reduce the efficacy of antibiotic therapeutics, making treatment of bacterial infections difficult, expensive, and sometimes impossible. The...

Influence of water activity on the heat resistance of Salmonella enterica in selected low-moisture foods
Download2020-12-01
Guatam, Bina, Govindan, Byju N., Gänzle, Michael G., Roopesh, M.S.
Low-moisture foods (LMF with water activity, aw < 0.85) including pet foods and black pepper powder have consistently been associated with foodborne disease caused by Salmonella enterica. Increased heat resistance and prolonged survival at low-moisture conditions, however, remain major challenges...

Spring 2017
Salmonella survives in low moisture products over an extended time. Salmonella also resists dry heat, which questions the assumption that Salmonella outbreaks from intermediate moisture foods result mostly from post-processing contamination. Some Enterobacteriaceae possess a genomic island called...

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...
