Identification and prioritization of effective food safety interventions require an understanding of the relationship between food and pathogen from farm to consumption. Critical to this cause is food attribution, the capacity to attribute cases of foodborne disease to the food vehicle or other source responsible for illness. A wide variety of food attribution approaches and data are used aroun...

Foodborne pathogen persisters are a subgroup of genetic susceptibility and growth arrest. They survive antimicrobial stress by stopping their growth, can regenerate into normal sensitive bacteria after the is removed. pathogens resisting unfavorable factors through mechanism exist for long time in many food-related environments. These surviving harmful to food safety human health. There ways re...

Lactobacillus animalis 381-IL-28 is an integral component of a multistrain commercial culture with food biopreservative and pathogen biocontrol functionality. A draft sequence of the L. animalis 381-IL-28 genome is described in this paper.

food borne viral infections are recognized increasingly as human illneses. hepatitis a virus (hav) is an important pathogen which has been responsible for water and many food – borne outbreeks especially milk . in this study for approaching to best diagnosis method of hav in milk by elisa technique, various dilutions of hav antigen (1 ml/l, 10-3 ml/l, 10-6 ml/l, 10-9 ml/l) were added to uht mil...

listeria monocytogenes as one of the most important pathogen in public health concerns is transmitted through consumption of contaminated food. the pathogen has been considered as a potential source of contamination of raw milk and dairy products. this research was aimed to investigate prevalence of l. monocytogenes in raw milk in kerman region. in the summer of 2011, a total number of one hund...

Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) is a gram-negative bacterium that has infected more than half of the world's population. This pathogen colonizes the human gastric mucosa and is usually acquired during childhood. It is an important cause of peptic ulcers, chronic gastritis and stomach cancer. Among the risk factors for acquisition of H. pylori infection, poor socioeconomic status, poor sanitizati...

The health of the majority South Africa’s population is seriously threatened by hunger and micronutrient deficiency, with impaired immune response a real threat, which current SARSCoV-2 virus pandemic has highlighted. Traditional household food-processing techniques can, amongst other advantages, increase nutrient bioavailability in affordable staple foods hence provide way, part, to alleviate ...

Immune factors are implicated in normal brain development and in brain disorder pathogenesis. Pathogen infection and food antigen penetration across gastrointestinal barriers are means by which environmental factors might affect immune-related neurodevelopment. Here, we test if gastrointestinal inflammation is associated with schizophrenia and therefore, might contribute to bloodstream entry of...

Food poisoning due to Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) is a major food health problem, particularly in terms of meat consumption. Due to human’s susceptibility to this pathogen, detection methods and prevention measures should be implemented to reduce its incidence. Several pathogenic strains of C. perfringens have been identified so far. One of the potential concerns about this bacteri...
