Klebsiella pneumoniae is not only a major hospital-acquired pathogen but also an important food-borne that can cause septicaemia, liver abscesses, and diarrhoea in humans. The phenotypic genotypic characteristics of K. retail foods have been thoroughly investigated China. objective this study was to characterize isolates through biotyping, serotyping, determination virulence factors, antibiotic resistance testing, enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus-polymerase chain reaction...
Salmonella is a widely distributed foodborne pathogen. The use of phages as biocontrol agents has recently gained significant interest. Because the genus high diversity, efforts are necessary to identify lytic focusing on different serovars. Here, five were isolated from soil samples, and vB_SalP_TR2 was selected novel phage with potential against host serovar Albany, well other tested serovars, including Corvallis, Newport, Kottbus, Istanbul. Morphological analyses demonstrated that belongs...
In this study, we characterized the β-lactamase genes of cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolated from retail foods in China. Of 1024 isolates recovered raw meat products, aquatic vegetables, retail-level ready-to-eat (RTE) foods, frozen and mushrooms 2011 to 2014, 164 (16.0%) showed cefotaxime (CTX) and/or ceftazidime (CAZ) cephalosporin resistance, 96 (9.4%) extended-spectrum (ESBL) phenotype. More than 30% were resistant all antimicrobial agents except carbapenems (MEM 3.1% IPM...
Listeria monocytogenes, an intracellular foodborne pathogen, is capable of causing listeriosis, such as meningitis, meningoencephalitis, and abortion. In recent years, the occurrence monocytogenes in edible mushroom products has been reported several countries. There are no guidelines for qualitative quantitative detection L. China. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate prevalence contamination level mushrooms Chinese markets determine antibiotic resistance sequence types (STs) these...
We conducted a survey in 2015 to evaluate the presence of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)- and plasmid-mediated AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae retail food water Pearl River Guangzhou, China, as well their antibiotic resistance profiles. Samples (88 fresh samples 43 samples) from eight different districts were analyzed by direct plating after enrichment. Multidrug-resistant strains found 41.7% 43.4% samples, respectively. ESBLs 3.4% 11.6% respectively, AmpC producers 13.6% 16.3%...
Listeria monocytogenes is an important Gram-positive foodborne pathogen. However, limited information available on the comprehensive investigation and potential risk of L. in fresh aquatic products, which are popular to consumers China. This study aimed determine occurrence, virulence profiles, population diversity isolated from products In total, 846 product samples were collected between July 2011 April 2016 43 cities Approximately 7.92% (67/846) positive for monocytogenes, 86.57% ranged...
Rapid, sensitive, point-of-care detection of pathogenic bacteria is important for food safety. In this study, we developed a novel quantum dot nanobeads-labelled lateral flow immunoassay strip (QBs-labelled LFIAS) combined with strand displacement loop-mediated isothermal amplification (SD-LAMP) quantitative Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) detection. Quantum nanobeads (QBs) served as fluorescence reporters, providing good efficiency. The customizable (SD) probe was used in LAMP to improve the...
Mining novel specific molecular targets and establishing efficient identification methods are significant for detecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can enable P. aeruginosa tracing in food water. Pangenome analysis was used to analyze the whole genomic sequences of 2017 strains (including 1,000 1,017 other common foodborne pathogen strains) downloaded from gene databases obtain species-specific genes, yielding a total 11 such genes. Four target UCBPP-PA14_00095, UCBPP-PA14_03237,...
Cronobacter spp. is a foodborne pathogen that causes life-threatening and invasive diseases, such as necrotizing enterocolitis, meningitis, sepsis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence, molecular characteristics antimicrobial resistance of in raw vegetables marketed China. Based on dietary habits China, 403 could be eaten without additional cooking were collected. Of samples tested, 122 (30.27%) positive for spp., contamination levels exceeded 110 most probable number...
Ready-to-eat (RTE) vegetables have become increasingly popular along with the trend of moving towards a healthy lifestyle. However, RTE are at higher risk containing pathogens, maybe owing to lack rigorous sanitization procedures. To understand prevalence and potential Listeria monocytogenes in vegetables, we investigated contamination level characteristics L. isolated from fresh vegetables. Twenty-three (5.49%) 419 samples were positive for monocytogenes. Phylogenetic group I.1 (1/2a-3a)...
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen with high mortality rate in humans. This study aimed to identify the pathogenic potential of L. isolated from ready-to-eat (RTE) foods and pasteurized milk China on basis its phenotypic genotypic characteristics. Approximately 7.7% (44/570) samples tested positive for among 10.8% (39/360) RTE 2.4% (5/210) samples, which 77.3% (34/44) had 110 MPN/g. A total 48 strains (43 five samples) were 44 samples. PCR-serogroup analysis revealed that most...
Bacillus cereus is one of the most important foodborne pathogenic microorganisms, which can lead to gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal diseases. However, potential risk B. in aquatic products China has not been comprehensively evaluated yet. In this study, a total 860 samples from three types retail were collected 39 major cities 2011 2016. The contamination, distribution virulence genes, antibiotic resistance genetic diversity isolates measured analyzed. Of all samples, 219 (25.47%)...
