Similar to ruminants, swine have been shown be a reservoir for Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), and pork products linked with outbreaks associated STEC O157 O111:H-. strains, isolated in previous study from fecal samples of late-finisher pigs, belonged total 56 serotypes, including O15:H27, O91:H14, other serogroups previously human illness. The isolates were tested by PCR high-throughput real-time system determine the toxin subtype virulence-associated putative genes they...
To assess the quality of shellfish harvest areas, bivalve mollusk samples from three coastal areas Campania region in Southwest Italy were evaluated for viruses over a three-year period (2015-2017). Screening 289 farms and other locations by qPCR RT-qPCR identified hepatitis A virus (HAV; 8.9%), norovirus GI (NoVGI; 10.8%) GII (NoVGII; 39.7%), rotavirus (RV; 9.0%), astrovirus (AsV; 20.8%), sapovirus (SaV; 18.8%), aichivirus-1 (AiV-1; 5.6%), adenovirus (AdV, 5.6%). Hepatitis E (HEV) was never...
Inorganic or aggregated forms of chemical substances (metalloids, heavy metals etc.) in feed and food represent a severe risk for their long-term toxicological effects. Heavy are widely dispersed the environment. The toxicity induced by excessive levels some these elements, such as chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) mercury (Hg), well known [8]. The toxic metal content milk dairy products is due to several factors – particular environmental conditions, manufacturing process possible...
Fresh products are characterized by reduced shelf-life because they an excellent growth medium for a lot of microorganisms. Therefore, the microbial spoilage causing significant food supply losses has become enormous economic and ethical problem worldwide. The antimicrobial packaging is offering viable solution to tackle this safety issue extending improving quality fresh products. goal study was investigate effects contact surface polyethylene terephthalate (PET) functionalized with...
Whole fish morphologically identified as belonging to Theragra chalcogramma, Merluccius merluccius, hubbsi, and capensis 19 products commercialized surimi with different commercial brands labeled T. chalcogramma were analyzed by direct sequence analysis of the cytochrome b gene. A phylogenetic was performed well. Results demonstrated that mislabeling is a large-scale phenomenon, since 84.2% surimi-based sold (16/19) prepared species from one declared. In fact, only three samples (samples...
Environmental contamination by pharmaceuticals is a public health concern: drugs administered to humans and animals are excreted with urine or faeces attend the sewage treatment. The main consequences of use abuse antibiotics development diffusion antibiotic resistance that has become serious global problem. Aim study evaluate presence antimicrobial residues assess in bacteria species isolated from different wild caught seawater fish fishery products.Three substances (Oxytetracicline,...
Synthetic antibacterial peptides are advanced weapons that scientists design and produce to confront current threats of harmful mortal pathogens, which could affect humans in everyday life. Recently, many small amino acid sequences, greatly efficient their action, have been reported the literature. To date, only a few synthetic peptides, acting at micromolar or even tenths concentrations, on market as commercial products, mainly because high cost production. In this context, materials...
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen responsible for about 1600 illnesses each year in the United States (US) and 2500 confirmed invasive human cases European Union (EU) countries. Several technologies antimicrobials are applied to control presence of L. food. Among these, use natural preferred by consumers. This due their ability inhibit growth pathogens but not prompt negative safety concerns. antimicrobials, plant extracts used inactivate monocytogenes. However, there large...
Fresh fish are highly perishable, owing mainly to their moisture content, high amount of free amino acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Microorganisms chemical reactions cause the spoilage, leading loss in quality, human health risks a market value reduction. Therefore, fishing industry has always been willing explore new technologies increase quality safety products through decrease microbiological biochemical damage. In this context, antimicrobial active packaging is one such promising...
In this study, dairy cows (n = six) were treated with an oral combination product containing levamisole (5 mg/kg body weight, (bw)) and oxyclozanide (10 bw). Animals milked twice daily up to day 16 post-treatment. Milk samples subsequently analyzed by ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC−MS/MS). The highest levels of (<600 μg/kg) (<25 determined at first third milking, respectively. Residues typically below reporting limits 0.83 1 μg/kg respectively...
