equine encephalitis in BALB/c mice: kinetic analysis of central nervous system infection following aerosol or subcutaneous inoculation. A computer assisted molecular epidemiologic approach for confronting the reemergences of tuberculosis. Food and Drug Administration, in cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and the Pan American Health Organization/World ...

The ability of many bacteria to adhere to surfaces and to form biofilms has major implications in a variety of industries including the food industry, where biofilms create a persistent source of contamination. It is reported that biofilms are more resistant to antimicrobials compared to planktonic cells. The colonization of bacteria on the food processing surfaces and even the food structure, ...

The globalization of food trade and the emergence disease outbreaks involving several foodborne pathogens foods has focused attention both research community consumers on safety [...]

In food microbiology, novel strategies to fight foodborne pathogens are certainly welcome. In this data report, cationic nanostructures built from combinations of nanoparticles, antimicrobial peptide and cationic lipid are evaluated against important foodborne pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica subsp. serovar Typhymurium, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. Th...

The present study was conducted to determine the bacterial contamination and prevalence of foodborne pathogens in imported frozen fish. A total of 450 imported fish samples [65 catfish (Pangasius pangasius), 45 mirgal (Cirrhinus mrigala), 135 tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), 50 carfoo (Cyprinus carpio), 75 Rohu (Labeo rohita), 35 milk fish (Chanos chanos) and 45 Mackerel (Rastrelliger brachysom...

PulseNet, the national molecular subtyping network for foodborne disease surveillance, was established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and several state health department laboratories to facilitate subtyping bacterial foodborne pathogens for epidemiologic purposes. PulseNet, which began in 1996 with 10 laboratories typing a single pathogen (Escherichia coli O157:H7), now inclu...

OBJECTIVE Enteric illness represents a significant burden of illness in Canada and internationally. Building on previous research, an expert elicitation was undertaken to explore the routes of transmission for 28 pathogens involved in enteric illness in Canada. This article considers the subcategories of foodborne, waterborne, and animal contact transmission. METHODS As part of an expert elic...

Foodborne pathogens are more likely to cause infection and to result in serious consequences in vulnerable people than in healthy adults. People with some increase in susceptibility may form nearly 20% of the population in the UK and the USA. Conditions leading to increased susceptibility are listed. The main factors leading to foodborne disease caused by major pathogens are outlined and exampl...

Few data exist about perceptions regarding the etiology of foodborne illness. Among public health staff throughout Tennessee, the three pathogens most commonly believed to cause foodborne illness in the United States actually account for only 12% of disease. Fewer than 3% of respondents correctly identified the leading cause of foodborne illness.
