Fresh produce as a potential vector for bacterial human pathogens
The predicted massive growth in the world overall population and the proportion of the elderly together with climate change and water shortages pose major global challenges in ensuring food security, both in terms of availability and safety. The geographic and demographic changes are likely to force unprecedented changes in land usage and agricultural practices (i.e. bringing closer together an...
متن کاملMediterranean fruit fly as a potential vector of bacterial pathogens.

متن کاملInhibition of pathogens on fresh produce by ultraviolet energy.
Ultraviolet energy at a wavelength of 253.7 nm (UVC) was investigated for its bactericidal effects on the surface of Red Delicious apples, leaf lettuce and tomatoes inoculated with cultures of Salmonella spp. or Escherichia coli O157:H7. Inoculated samples were subjected to different doses ranging from 1.5 to 24 mW/cm(2) of UVC and enumerated on tryptic soy agar plus 0.05 g/l nalidixic acid to ...
متن کاملAtmospheric plasma inactivation of foodborne pathogens on fresh produce surfaces.
A study was conducted to determine the effect of one atmosphere uniform glow discharge plasma (OAUGDP) on inactivation of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella, and Listeria monocytogenes on apples, cantaloupe, and lettuce, respectively. A five-strain mixture of cultured test organisms was washed, suspended in phosphate buffer, and spot inoculated onto produce (7 log CFU per sample). Samples wer...
متن کاملFactors affecting compost tea as a potential source of Escherichia coli and Salmonella on fresh produce.
Compost tea (CT) is an unheated on-farm infusion of compost used as a spray or soil drench to promote plant growth and control foliar and root diseases. Because food safety involves all aspects from farm to fork, CT should meet basic microbiological criteria for water quality. This report describes the effects of two CT production processes, aerated and nonaerated, on growth and survival of foo...
