Development and validation of a surrogate strain cocktail to evaluate bactericidal effects of pressure on verotoxigenic Escherichia coli
Download2015-01-01
Garcia-Hernandez, Rigoberto, McMullen, Lynn, Gänzle, Michael G.
Many strains of verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) are highly resistant to pressure. To facilitate future studies to improve the elimination of VTEC by pressure processing of food, this study developed and validated a cocktail of non-pathogenic strains of E. coli with equal or higher...

Even though the inactivation of microorganisms by high pressure treatment is a subject of intense investigations, the effect of high pressure on bacterial toxins has not been studied so far. In this study, the influence of combined pressure/temperature treatment (0.1 to 800 MPa and 5 to 121 °C)...

Li, Hui, Garcia-Hernandez, Rigoberto, Driedger, Darcy, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
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...

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...

Influence of cyclopropane fatty acids on heat, high pressure, acid, and oxidative stress resistance in Escherichia coli

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...

Mechanisms of pressure-mediated cell death and injury in Escherichia coli: From fundamentals to food applications
Download2015
High hydrostatic pressure is commercially applied to extend the shelf life of foods, and to improve food safety. Current applications operate at ambient temperature and 600 MPa or less. However, bacteria that may resist this pressure level include the pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and strains...

Structure and function relationships of the binding of β- and ɑ-galactosylated oligosaccharides to K88 fimbriae of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
Download2018-01-01
Yan, Ya Lu, Gänzle, Michael G.
Chitosan-oligosaccharides (COS) are suitable acceptors for β-galactosidase, and galactosylated-COS prevent adhesion of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88 to porcine erythrocytes. The structure and functional relationship of oligosaccharide binding to ETEC K88 fimbriae was investigated....

The locus of heat resistance (LHR) mediates heat resistance in Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae
Download2017-06-01
Mercer, Ryan G., Walker, Brian D., Yang, Xianqin, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
Enterobacteriaceae comprise food spoilage organisms as well as food-borne pathogens including Escherichia coli. Heat resistance in E. coli was attributed to a genomic island called the locus of heat resistance (LHR). This genomic island is also present in several other genera of...
