Vacuolar localisation of anthocyanin pigmentation in microgreen cotyledons of basil, cabbage and mustard greens does not impact on colonisation by Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli O157:H7
Food Microbiol. 2023 Dec;116:104367. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2023.104367. Epub 2023 Aug 21.ABSTRACTMicrogreens, the immature plants harvested after a few weeks of growth, are perceived as a heathy, nutritious food ingredient but may be susceptible to colonisation by human pathogens including Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC). Some microgreen cultivars accumulate anthocyanins or secrete essential oils which, when extracted or purified, have been reported to inhibit bacterial growth. Therefore, the impact of anthocyanins on bacterial colonisation by STEC (Sakai) was compared for three species that have pigmented cultivars: b...

Prevalence of ciprofloxacin resistance and associated genetic determinants differed among Campylobacter isolated from human and poultry meat sources in Pennsylvania
Food Microbiol. 2023 Dec;116:104349. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2023.104349. Epub 2023 Aug 3.ABSTRACTPoultry is the primary source of Campylobacter infections and severe campylobacteriosis cases are treated with macrolides and fluoroquinolones. However, these drugs are less effective against antimicrobial-resistant strains. Here, we investigated the prevalence of phenotypic antimicrobial resistance and associated resistance genetic determinants in Campylobacter isolates collected from human clinical (N = 123) and meat (N = 80) sources in Pennsylvania in 2017 and 2018. Our goal was to assess potential differences in the prevalence o...

Detection of resistance and virulence plasmids in Campylobacter coli and Campylobacter jejuni isolated from North Carolina food animal production, 2018-2019
Food Microbiol. 2023 Dec;116:104348. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2023.104348. Epub 2023 Aug 11.ABSTRACTCampylobacter remains the leading cause of bacterial foodborne illness in the U.S. and worldwide. Campylobacter plasmids may play a significant role in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence factor distribution, and potentially drive rapid adaptation. C. coli (n = 345) and C. jejuni (n = 199) isolates collected from live cattle, swine, turkey, and chickens, poultry carcasses at production, and retail meat in N.C. were analyzed to determine plasmid prevalence, extrachromosomal virulence and AMR genes, and the phylogeny of asse...

The efficiency of UV light-emitting diodes (UV-LED) in decontaminating Campylobacter and Salmonella and natural microbiota in chicken breast, compared to a UV pilot-plant scale device
This study investigated the combined effect of Ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode (LED) technology treatment with refrigerated storage of chicken breast meat over 7 days on Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, total viable counts (TVC) and total Enterobacteriaceae counts (TEC). An optimised UV-LED treatment at 280 nm for 6 min decreased inoculated S. Typhimurium and C. jejuni populations by 0.6-0.64 log CFU/g, and TVC and TEC population by 1-1.2 log CFU/g in chicken samples. During a 7-day storage at 4 °C, a 0.73 log reduction in C. jejuni was achieved compared with non-treated samples. Moreov...

Modelling norovirus dynamics within oysters emphasises potential food safety issues associated with current testing & amp; depuration protocols
Food Microbiol. 2023 Dec;116:104363. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2023.104363. Epub 2023 Aug 18.ABSTRACTNorovirus is a significant global cause of viral gastroenteritis, with raw oyster consumption often linked to such outbreaks due to their filter-feeding in harvest waters. National water quality and depuration/relaying times are often classified using Escherichia coli, a poor proxy for norovirus levels in shellfish. The current norovirus assay is limited to only the digestive tracts of oysters, meaning the total norovirus load of an oyster may differ from reported results. These limitations motivated this work, building upon previo...
