Probiotic Lactobacillus can be used to reduce the colonization of pathogenic bacteria in food animals, and therefore risk foodborne illness consumers. As a model system, we examined mechanism protection conferred by species inhibit C. jejuni growth vitro broiler chickens. Possible mechanisms for reduction pathogens lactobacilli include: 1) stimulation adaptive immunity; 2) alteration cecal microbiome; and, 3) production inhibitory metabolites, such as organic acids. The produced lactic acid...
Building electronic devices on ubiquitous paper substrates has recently drawn extensive attention due to its light weight, low cost, environmental friendliness, and ease of fabrication. Recently, a myriad advancements have been made improve the performance electronics for various applications, such as basic components, energy storage devices, generators, antennas, circuits. This review aims summarize this progress discuss different perspectives well remaining challenges yet be overcome in...
The highly contagious nature and 100% fatality rate contribute to the ongoing expanding impact of African swine fever virus (ASFV), causing significant economic losses worldwide. Herein, we developed a cascaded colorimetric detection using combination CRISPR/Cas14a system, G-quadruplex DNAzyme, microfluidic paper-based analytical device. This CRISPR/Cas14a-G4 biosensor could detect ASFV as low 5 copies/μL differentiate wild-type mutated DNA with 2-nt difference. Moreover, this approach was...
ABSTRACT Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and Raman were used to study the cell injury inactivation of Campylobacter jejuni from exposure antioxidants garlic. C. was treated with various concentrations garlic concentrate garlic-derived organosulfur compounds in growth media saline at 4, 22, 35°C. The antimicrobial activities diallyl sulfides increased number sulfur atoms (diallyl sulfide < disulfide trisulfide). FT-IR confirmed that are responsible for substantial activity...
The effects of high intensity ultrasound (HIU, 105-110 W/cm(2) for 5 or 40 min) pre-treatment soy protein isolate (SPI) on the physicochemical properties ensuing transglutaminase-catalyzed cold set gel (TSCG) were investigated in this study. strength TSCG increased remarkably from 34.5 to 207.1 g produced SPI with min HIU pre-treatment. Moreover, yield and water holding capacity also after pre-treatments. Scanning electron microscopy showed that resulted a more uniform denser microstructure...
Membrane fusion is essential for entry of the biomedically-important paramyxoviruses into their host cells (viral-cell fusion), and syncytia formation (cell-cell often induced by paramyxoviral infections [e.g. those deadly Nipah virus (NiV)]. For most paramyxoviruses, membrane requires two viral glycoproteins. Upon receptor binding, attachment glycoprotein (HN/H/G) triggers (F) to undergo conformational changes that merge and/or cell membranes. However, a significant knowledge gap remains on...
Rapid detection and differentiation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are critical for the early diagnosis difficult-to-treat nosocomial community acquired clinical infections improved epidemiological surveillance. We developed a microfluidics chip coupled with surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy (532 nm) “lab-on-a-chip” system to rapidly detect differentiate methicillin-sensitive S. (MSSA) MRSA using isolates from China United States. A total 21 MSSA 37...
