A Review on Microbiological Source Attribution Methods of Human Salmonellosis: From Subtyping to Whole-Genome Sequencing. Foodborne Pathog. Dis. (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-11-29 Rebeca Cardim Falcao,Megan R Edwards,Matt Hurst,Erin Fraser,Michael Otterstatter
Salmonella is one of the main causes of human foodborne illness. It is endemic worldwide, with different animals and animal-based food products as reservoirs and vehicles of infection. Identifying animal reservoirs and potential transmission pathways of Salmonella is essential for prevention and control. There are many approaches for source attribution, each using different statistical models and data

Efficacy of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds for Control of Individual and Mixed Cultures of Escherichia coli with High- and Low-Quaternary Ammonium Compounds Resistance. Foodborne Pathog. Dis. (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-06-28 Vinicius Silva Castro,Carlos Adam Conte,Eduardo Eustaquio de Souza Figueiredo,Xianqin Yang,Kim Stanford
Escherichia coli is a well-characterized micro-organism in scientific literature. Similarly, quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are historical sanitizers in food processing. However, the use of QACs has been questioned due to bacterial resistance in some studies. Therefore, this study aimed to compare effects of single and mixed cultures of E. coli strains of different serogroups with either high

Multidrug resistance in foodborne and clinical pathogens is a worldwide health problem. The urgent need for new alternatives to the existing antibiotics is emerging. Bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances can be considered part of the new generation of antimicrobials, which can be potentially applied in the food industry and health care practices. This study aimed to select Bacillus strains with antimicrobial

Tea Polyphenols Inhibit the Activity and Toxicity of Staphylococcus aureus by Destroying Cell Membranes and Accumulating Reactive Oxygen Species. Foodborne Pathog. Dis. (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-06-21 Weiwei Zhong,Mengsheng Tang,Yan Xie,Xianqing Huang,Yanan Liu
Staphylococcus aureus can cause bacterial food intoxication and seriously affect human health. Tea polyphenols (TP) are a kind of natural, safe, and broad-spectrum bacteriostatic substances, with a wide range of bacteriostatic effects. In the study, we explored the possible bacteriostatic mode of TP. The minimum inhibitory concentration of TP against S. aureus was 64 μg/mL. Protein, DNA, and K+ leak

Genomic Insights into Pangenome and Antimicrobial Resistance in Campylobacter spp. Isolated from Chickens at Specific Growth Stages. Foodborne Pathog. Dis. (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-06-14 Xiaoqi Zang,Hongyue Lv,Pingyu Huang,Zhichu Sun,Chen Gu,Wei Ding,Xinan Jiao,Jinlin Huang
Improved understanding of the genetic basis of Campylobacter spp. colonization of poultry at specific growth stage is the key to developing a farm-based strategy to prevent flock colonization. In this study, 39 Campylobacter spp. strains (chicken isolates, n = 29; environmental isolates, n = 10) were collected from six marked chickens at the growth stage from week 7 to week 13. Then, we use comparative

Comparison of Antibiotic Resistance Profiles of Salmonella Isolates from Retail Meats in Nanchang, China, in Two Periods. Foodborne Pathog. Dis. (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-06-02 Xiaoping Lu,Pingping Zhai,Zhonghua Liu,Ling Deng,Tongtong Zhang,Xin Wu,Da Ma,Yuwen Qiao,Wanglai Bi,Rui Li
Salmonella is one of the most important foodborne pathogens. In this article, a total of 160 Salmonella isolates recovered from retail meats in June-July 2018 (before COVID-19 outbreak) and December 2020-April 2021 (after COVID-19 outbreak) in Nanchang, China, were characterized for serotyping, antimicrobial susceptibility, and specific resistance gene screening. The prevalence of Salmonella Typhimurium

First Detection of blaNDM-1-Haboring IncHI2 Plasmid in Escherichia coli Strain Isolated from Goose in China. Foodborne Pathog. Dis. (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Shasha Fu,Shanshan Jin,Haojie Ge,Zhengzhong Xu,Xin'an Jiao,Xiang Chen
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infections are among the most serious threats to human and animal health worldwide. Of the 1013 strains of Escherichia coli isolated and identified in 14 regions of China from 2007 to 2018, seven strains were resistant to meropenem and all were positive for blaNDM. The seven New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-positive strains belonged to five different sequence

Challenges Associated with Investigating Salmonella Enteritidis with Low Genomic Diversity in New York State: The Impact of Adjusting Analytical Methods and Correlation with Epidemiological Data. Foodborne Pathog. Dis. (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Deborah J Baker,Amy Robbins,Jennifer Newman,Madhu Anand,William J Wolfgang,Damaris V Mendez-Vallellanes,Samantha E Wirth,Lisa A Mingle
Defining investigation-worthy genomic clusters among strains of Salmonella Enteritidis is challenging because of their highly clonal nature. We investigated a cluster identified by core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) consisting of 265 isolates with isolation dates spanning two and a half years. This cluster experienced chaining, growing to a range of 14 alleles. The volume of isolates and
