This study analyzed biofilms composed of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus on a stainless steel surface, in the presence food residues (milk meat exudate), at 25 35 °C, with objective simulating real conditions industrial processing these foods. The biofilm formed surface was determined by quantifying colonies scanning electron microscopy. In addition to milk exudate, three different culture media were used, one specific for each bacterium common environment growth both bacteria...

The aim of this study was to develop fettuccini type rice fresh pasta by cold extrusion. To produce the pasta, a 2² Central Composite Rotational Design used, in which effects addition pre-gelatinized flour - PGRF (0-60%) and modified egg albumin MEA (0-10%) were studied. dependent variables results cooking test instrumental texture. optimum time for all formulations 3 minutes. had greater effect on increasing weight when compared that PGRF. It found with increase loss solids water, whereas...

In this work, the sources of contamination by Enterococcus spp. in a ricotta processing line were evaluated. The isolated strains tested for virulence genes (gelE, cylA,B, M, esp, agg, ace, efaA, vanB), expression factors (hemolysin and gelatinase), resistance to 10 different antibiotics. faecium faecalis subjected discriminatory identification intergenic spacer region (ITS)-polymerase chain reaction sequencing ITS region. results showed that was detected raw materials, environment samples...

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the biofilm‐forming ability Alicyclobacillus spp. isolates. Biofilm formation evaluated under a stainless steel surface using orange juice as culture medium at different temperatures (28 and 45 °C, 30 60 °C) contact times (24, 72, 120 hr). degree hydrophobicity survival time isolates on abiotic were also investigated. Five from industry reference strain acidoterrestris 0244 T used. biofilm observed 24 hr in least one temperature tested,...

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the biofilm formation by Enterococcus faecium , isolated from coalho cheese, on stainless steel and its control disinfection agents. biofilms 304#4 modeled as a function time (0, 1.2, 4, 6.8, 8 days) temperature (4.5, 10.5, 25.0, 39.5, 45.5 °C) using response surface methodology. Analysis variance revealed significant ( p < .05) fit model, allowing build mathematical model capable predicting adhesion temperature. Optimum...

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus , Bacillus cereus and licheniformis as well verify efficiency sanitation procedures (cleaning, disinfection, cleaning + disinfection) on removal. Biofilms were formed after immersion stainless steel PVC coupons into different culture media (semi‐finished bovine gelatin, final hydrolyzed collagen) at 35°C for 5, 32, 48 hr. After 32 hr contact, all microorganisms capable form biofilms surfaces...

A gestação envolve diversas adaptações fisiológicas e comportamentais, sendo que o estilo de vida sedentário (EVS) pode promover complicações metabólicas, afetando diretamente a saúde materno-infantil. Em contrapartida, prática regular exercício físico (EF) proporciona inúmeros benefícios durante gestação. Assim, compreender os efeitos do EF suas diretrizes é essencial para garantir sua segurança eficácia. Este estudo revisa literatura sobre as gestação, Trata-se uma revisão narrativa...

ABSTRACT: The quorum sensing phenomenon is a process of intra- and inter-species microbial communication involving the production detection extracellular signaling molecules. autoinducer AI-2 has been proposed to serve as ‘universal signal’ for interspecies communication. This study aimed evaluate capability Enterococcus faecium, faecalis, Bacillus cereus strains isolated from ricotta processing produce signalling molecules (AI-2). were evaluated presence luxS gene using polymerase chain...

Biofilms can be characterized as a microorganisms community attached to surface and enveloped by an extra polymeric substances complex array in moist environment. It is known that the growth formation way of biofilm structure induces resistance several microbial agents, making it impossible disintegrate eliminate these structures. These biofilms settle vessels surface, pipes, thermoelectric cooling systems so forth causing serious economic problems most diverse strategic sectors country such...
