Chicken meat has been identified as one of the most important food vehicles of pathogens, particularly Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter spp. Consumer food safety knowledge and behaviour can substantially contribute to the ...

The Antarctic continent is widely considered to be one of the most hostile biological habitats on Earth. Despite extreme environmental conditions, the ice-free areas of the continent, which constitute some 0.44% of the ...

Understanding consumers’ perceptions toward chicken meat safety and quality could provide valuable information to public health educators since it is the most consumed meat. This study explores perceptions of a group of ...

OBJECTIVE : To determine the association between the fecal microbiota diversity of the infants with different disease conditions, and vitamin A supplementation, antibiotic, and deworming therapies. STUDY DESIGN : In this ...

Diarrheagenic E. coli (DEC) has been implicated in foodborne outbreaks worldwide and have been associated with childhood stunting in the absence of diarrhoea. Infection is extraordinarily common, but the routes of transmission ...

The accurate identification of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) genes in Gram-negative bacteria is necessary for surveillance and epidemiological studies of transmission through foods. We report a novel rapid, cheap, ...

Significant efforts have been made to address the hidden hunger challenges due to iron, zinc, iodine, and vitamin A since the beginning of the 21st century. Prioritizing the vitamin A deficiency (VAD) disorders, many ...

As more microbiological data for indigenous fermented milk (IFM) becomes available, concern about their microbial safety becomes eminent. Nonetheless, these data are highly fragmented, and a tool is required to integrate ...

This study aims to characterize Bacillus subtilis complex group from raw, pasteurized, and packaged extended shelf-life (ESL) milk samples, to determine their biofilm potential and source-track the microbial contaminants ...

We aim to quantify and compare biofilm-induced proteolysis and lipolysis of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus velezensis with that of the planktonic cells. Planktonic and biofilm cells were enumerated in a flow cytometer after ...
