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...

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...

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...

Inactivation of Salmonella spp. in wheat flour by 395 nm pulsed light emitting diode (LED) treatment and the related functional and structural changes of gluten
Download2020-01-01
Du, Lihui, Prasad, Amritha Jaya, Gänzle, Michael G., Roopesh, M.S.
Salmonella spp. is one of the top foodborne pathogens associated with low-moisture foods and they exhibit significant resistance to conventional thermal treatments. UV light pulses emitted from light emitting diode (LED) has shown antimicrobial potential in high-moisture foods and water. However,...

Influence of cyclopropane fatty acids on heat, high pressure, acid, and oxidative stress resistance in Escherichia coli
Download2016-01-01
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...

Influence of water activity on thermal resistance of microorganisms in low-moisture foods: A review
Download2016-01-01
Syamaladevi, Roopesh M., Tang, Juming, Villa-Rojas, Rossana, Sablani, Shyam S., Carter, Brady, Campbell, Gaylon
A number of recent outbreaks related to pathogens in low-moisture foods have created urgency for studies to understand the possible causes and identify potential treatments to improve low-moisture food safety. Thermal processing holds the potential to eliminate pathogens such as Salmonella in...

Lethality of high-pressure carbon dioxide on Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Salmonella and surrogate organisms on beef jerky
Download2020-05-16
Schultze, Danielle M., Couto, Ricardo, Temelli, Feral, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
Low water activity (aW) foods permit the survival of low-infectious dose pathogens including Escherichia coli and Salmonella. Desiccation of non-heat resistant E. coli and Salmonella enterica increases their heat resistance; therefore, alternative methods are necessary to ensure the safety of low...

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...

Microbiological quality of organic vegetables produced in soil treated with different types of manure and mineral fertilizer
Download2006
Maia, Carla M., Carvalho, Isabel D., Serafini, Álvaro B., da Silva, Natan F., André, Maria C. P. B., Machado, Débora C.
An attempt was made to evaluate microbiological quality of horticultural crops grown organically. Three species of vegetables were used, lettuce (Lactuva sativa), radish (Raphanus sativus) and spinach (Tetragonia expansa), grown organically, in fertile soil. Six different treatments were applied:...

Neutrophil elastase alters the murine gut mirobiota resulting in enhanced Salmonella colonization
Download2012
Hartmann, Martin, Sekirov, Inna, Finlay, B. Brett, Al-Zahrani, Fatimah, Willing, Benjamin P., Ferreira, Rosana B. R., Gill, Navkiran, Antunes, L. Caetano M.
The intestinal microbiota has been found to play a central role in the colonization of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we present a novel process through which Salmonella benefit from inflammatory induced changes in the microbiota in order to...
