Summary Background Over the last decades, genomics proteomics have contributed to current knowledge of individualized allergenic components their potential use in diagnosis IgE-mediated allergies. Recent investigations demonstrated that Alt a 1 should be considered as relevant allergen Pleosporaceae group enolase is main involved...
Antimicrobial activity of seven commercial smoke preparations (four liquid and three solid) was studied. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determined against a selection food spoilage pathogenic micro‐organisms. main components were identified quantified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. most effective condensate S2. All strains except Salmonella enteritidis inhibited S2 with an MIC <0·5–1·5%. Smoke extract L2 growth Vibrio vulnificus, Yersinia enterocolitica, Bacillus...
Poultry farming may introduce pathogens into the environment and food chains. High concentrations of chicken/turkey parvoviruses were detected in chicken stools slaughterhouse downstream urban wastewaters by applying new PCR-based specific detection quantification techniques. Our results confirm that be useful viral indicators poultry fecal contamination.
Several studies have demonstrated that proteins homologous to the Alt a 1 major allergen of Alternaria alternata are expressed in other members Pleosporaceae family. However, since no direct biochemical data been reported concerning presence homologues capable binding IgE excretion-secretion products Stemphylium and Ulocladium, our objective was explore their botryosum Ulocladium botrytis. S. U. botrytis culture filtrate extracts were analyzed by two-dimensional (2D)-electrophoresis...
Aims: A simple and effective method of concentrating purifying enteric viruses from mussel samples to be detected by nucleic acid extraction reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) has been evaluated.
Urticaria remains a major problem in terms of aetiology, investigation, and management, although parasitic diseases are considered potential causes, the absence consistent link between infections skin allergy symptoms leads to need for deeper study parameters that support this association. The objectives were analyse possible relationship parasitism by Ascarididae (Toxocara canis Anisakis simplex) clinical expression urticaria identify molecular markers improving diagnosis unknown aetiology....
There has been a significant growth in the prevalence of allergy, mainly associated to IgE-mediated disorders such as asthma and rhinitis. The identification atopy asthmatic patients through measurement specific IgE can help identify risk factors that cause symptoms patients. development use individualized allergen-based tests by Component Resolved Diagnosis crucial advance accurate diagnosis control allergic objective this work was assess usefulness molecular environmental allergens...
Alt a 1 has been recognized as the most important allergen produced by Pleosporaceae family and is risk factor for asthma development and/or exacerbation. The aim of this study was to develop detection tool that highly specific species airborne 1. Based on conserved internal nucleotide region several sequences are available in GenBank, pair primers (Alta1CF/Alta1CR) designed. A set used other authors production recombinant (A21F/A21R) also tested. molecular analyses were based polymerase...
Aeroallergens such us the spores of Alternaria alternata are described as most important agents associated with respiratory allergies and severe asthma. Various experimental models asthma have been developed using A. extracts to study pathogenesis asthma, establishing main parameters that trigger asthmatic response. In this study, we describe a mouse model induced only by Alt 1. To induce allergic response, mice were challenged intranasally major allergen alternata, The presence eosinophils...
A total of 330 strains psychrotrophic non-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria isolated from vegetables were studied. In spite the wide range antibiotic resistance occurring, less than 10% showed patterns which included mezclocillin-ticarcillin-gentamicin or ceftizoxime-norfloxacin. Reductions > 5 log10 in numbers cfu found when these exposed for 30 min to a quaternary ammonium compound (1% w/v).
ABSTRACT Forty‐three samples of shellfish (22 mussels and 21 clams) purchased from retail outlets February through October were tested for the presence vibrios associated with human disease . Vibrio spp. was found in 51.16% V. alginolyticus commonest species samples, followed by parahaemolyticus, fluvialis cholerae non‐01. All parahaemolyticus isolated Kanagawa‐phenomenon negative. Hemolytic activities shown all isolates cholerae. Bacterial indicators quality safety within permitted limits...
A collaborative study in 10 laboratories was performed to validate an ELISA method developed for the quantitative determination of peanut protein foods. The kit used this is based on rabbit polyclonal antibody. This does not produce any false-positive results or cross-reactivity with a broad range peanut-free food matrixes. All participants obtained standard operational procedures, list samples, and protocol recording test results. included 15 samples. Three matrix samples zero content...
Abstract An interlaboratory study was conducted in 11 laboratories to validate an ELISA method developed for the quantitative determination of egg white proteins (EWPs) foods. The kit used this is based on sheep polyclonal antibody. It does not produce any false-positive results or cross-reactivity a broad food matrix range with zero EWP content. All participants obtained Egg Kit-native standard operational procedure and list samples, as well samples protocol recording test results. included...
