The stability of orange juice obtained from a small extractor and stored in a polyethylene bottle was assessed under isothermal and non-isothermal storage conditions at 4, 8 and 12C for 72 hours. pH, titratable acidity and Brix did not alter significantly during the 72 hours storage. Microbiological analysis showed high initial count for moulds and yeasts that increased in the juice stored for ...

the aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of enterotoxigenic and enteroaggregative escherichia coli strains and antibiotic resistance of the isolates in raw milk and unpasteurized cheese. out of 200 samples of raw milk and 50 samples of unpasteurized cheeses, 96 and 24 strains of e. coli were isolated, respectively. polymerase chain reaction (pcr) was used to detect the genes encodi...

This is a proposal to modify vaccine strains of B. anthracis (strains ST1 and Sterne) by introducing into them plasmids that code for fusion proteins intended to confer immunity both to anthrax and to brucellosis. The resulting live bivalent vaccine would then replace the live monovalent anthrax vaccines currently in use. DESCRIPTION Brucellosis is a debilitating although seldom lethal bacteria...

Although milk and dairy products are important components of a healthy diet, if consumed unpasteurized, they also can present a health hazard due to possible contamination with pathogenic bacteria. These bacteria can originate even from clinically healthy animals from which milk is derived or from environmental contamination occurring during collection and storage of milk. The decreased frequen...

BACKGROUND The majority of human brucellosis cases in Israel are caused by the ingestion of unpasteurized dairy foods produced from unlicensed family-owned flocks whose products are sold door-to-door at low prices. Exposure to infected farm animals is another major cause of infection. OBJECTIVES To determine, by examining recent incidence data and brucellosis control programs, whether a reduc...

Brucellosis is a common Zoonosis affecting half million people annually. The most mode of infection by consuming unpasteurized milk or products. general manifestations are those fever with generalized symptoms. nervous system affected in 4–7% cases. protean and include meningo-encephalitis as well peripheral involvement. diagnosis relies on culture, which cumbersome can be falsely negative. Agg...

In June 2021, a cluster of seven cases Campylobacter fetus infections occurred in rehabilitation center and caused significant morbidity elderly patients including five with bacteremia two osteoarticular medical device infections. The genetic identity identified by whole genome sequencing the different strains confirms common source. This foodborne illness outbreak may have resulted from consum...
