Two antigenic sites recognized by neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against the fusion (F) glycoprotein of human respiratory syncytial virus were mapped on primary structure protein (i) identification amino acid substitutions selected in antibody-escape mutants and (ii) reactivity synthetic peptides with MAbs. The first site contained several overlapping epitopes which located within trypsin-resistant amino-terminal third large F1 subunit. Only one these was faithfully...
Abstract Background A real-time multiplex PCR assay was developed for the detection of multiple Salmonella serotypes in chicken samples. Poultry-associated detected include Enteritidis, Gallinarum, Typhimurium, Kentucky and Dublin. The traditional cultural method according to EN ISO 6579:2002 food performed parallel. based comprised a pre-enrichment step Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) overnight, followed by shortened selective enrichment Rappaport Vasilliadis Soya Broth (RVS) 6 hours...
The microbial contamination of air filters and possible links to contaminated product in a powdered milk protein-processing facility were investigated. Over 10-month period, seven filters, the environment, analyzed for presence Cronobacter spp. effects filter installation, maintenance, subsequent dissemination A total 30 isolates characterized by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). PFGE revealed three clonal populations distributed throughout manufacturing site. This study highlights...
Nucleotide polymorphism associated with the O-antigen-encoding locus, rfb, in Enterobacter sakazakii was determined by PCR-restriction fragment length analysis. Based on analysis of these DNA profiles, 12 unique banding patterns were detected among a collection 62 strains from diverse origins. Two common profiles identified and designated serotypes O:1 O:2. sequencing 12,500-bp region flanked galF gnd 11 open reading frames, all same transcriptional direction. Analysis proximal both...
