Fall 2016
“Blown-pack” spoilage of beef by psychrotrophic Clostridium spp. occurs sporadically and resistance of the endospores to most interventions makes them very difficult to control. Current interventions used to control spoilage and pathogenic bacteria, such as acid washes and heat treatments, do...

Fungal spoilage limits the shelf life of fermented dairy products. To address the problem, this study explores the potential of lactic acid bacteria as antifungal adjunct cultures in dairy matrices. Strains of lactic acid bacteria (113) representing 19 species were screened for their activity...

Application of intravaginal lactic acid bacteria to lower uterine infections and improve reproductive performance of postpartum dairy cows
DownloadSpring 2015
Transition dairy cows are susceptible to uterine infections due to the compromised immunity around calving and substantial bacterial contamination in the uterus immediately after calving. Cows with uterine infections are at higher odds of developing other periparturient diseases, resulting in...

Bacteria employ various antimicrobial compounds to establish themselves within bacterial communities. Bacteriocins, which are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial compounds, play a crucial role in this dynamic. This thesis focuses on strategies for purifying and identifying diverse bacteriocins...

Enterococcus faecalis 710C is a lactic acid bacterium that produces two bacterocins, ent7A and ent7B. Both ent7A and ent7B have strong activity against gram-positive food pathogens including Listeria spp., Clostridium spp., vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and methicillin-resistant...

Fall 2009
The objectives of this study were to determine the microbial ecology of “blown-pack” fresh beef obtained from a federally inspected facility and to use biopreservation to prevent spoilage of vacuum packaged chilled beef. Organic acids and alcohols in the purge obtained from the “blown” beef...
