Listeria monocytogenes is a serious foodborne pathogen that can contaminate food during processing and grow shelf-life. New types of safe effective contact materials embedding antimicrobial agents, like silver, play an important role in the industry. The present work aimed at evaluating vitro growth kinetics different strains L. presence both its ionic nano form. effect was determined by assaying number culturable bacterial cells, which formed colonies after incubation silver nanoparticles...
The emergence of microorganisms exerting resistance to biocides is a challenge meat-processing environments. Bacteria can be intrinsically resistant but also acquired by adaptation their sub-lethal concentrations. Moreover the presence biocide determinants, which closely linked antibiotic could lead co-selection during disinfection practices along food chain and select cross-resistant foodborne pathogens. purpose this work was test wild strains Listeria monocytogenes, isolated from pork meat...
Abstract Type II Toxin-Antitoxin systems (TAs), known for their presence in virulent and antibiotic resistant bacterial strains, were recently identified Salmonella enterica isolates. However, the relationships between of TAs ( ccd AB vap BC) epidemiological genetic features different non-typhoidal serovars are largely unknown, reducing our understanding ecological success serovars. isolates from sources, belonging to epidemiologically unrelated according ERIC profiles, investigated type...
Abstract Objectives Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a rapid technique able to assess meat quality even if its capability determine the shelf life of chicken fresh cuts still debated, especially for portable devices. The aim study was compare bench-top and NIR instruments in discriminating between four breast refrigeration times (RT), coupled with multivariate classifier models. Materials Methods Ninety-six samples were analysed by both tools at 2, 6, 10 14 days post mortem. data...
Abstract Feeding raw‐meat‐based diets to companion animals has become a widespread practice, and many owners are now accustomed buying frozen ingredients online. The goals of this study were assess the microbiological quality raw‐meat dog foods obtained from specialized websites evaluate effects storage at different temperatures for few days. Twenty‐nine raw food products processed quantitative bacteriology (i.e. total viable count, TVC; Escherichia coli ; faecal coliforms, FC)...
This study evaluates the hazards posed by foodborne bacteria of Listeria genus analyzing occurrence, diversity and virulence spp.in food food-manufacturing plants. Seventy-five isolates obtained from routine analysis 653 samples taken three diagnostic laboratories in Northern Italy were genotypically differentiated Repetitive Extragenic Palindrome (rep) PCR, with GTG5 primer identified sequencing 16S rRNA gene examined specific PCR tests for presence L. monocytogenes determinants...
Abstract Background Although the European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF) stated that labels must be accurate and provide detailed information on ingredients, mislabeling of pet food has been documented by several authors. This phenomenon is particular concern when related to products used as elimination diets for diagnosis adverse reaction (AFR) in dogs cats because presence undeclared ingredients may negatively interfere with trial prevent veterinarian from making an appropriate...
This study aimed to evaluate the hazards posed by foodborne bacteria of Listeria genus analyzing prevalence, diversity and virulence spp. in food manufacturing plants. Seventy five isolates obtained from routine analysis 653 samples three diagnostic laboratories Northern Italy were genotipically differentiated Repetitive Extragenic Palindrome (rep) PCR with GTG5 primer, identified sequencing 16S rRNA gene examined specific tests for presence L. monocytogenes determinants occasionally found...
<p>The present research was aimed at evaluating the prevalence of gross lesions in condemned rabbit carcasses by analysing data recorded a large Italian slaughterhouse. From 2003 until 2017, total 103 080 019 rabbits were processed: 101 722 673 finishing and 1 357 346 breeding females. A 742 397 due to lesions. Condemned from young (n=545 070) evidenced: 33.6% enteritis, 31.5% subcutaneous abscesses, 29.7% cachexia 3.84% lung disease. Among (n=197 327) there 38.9% cachexia, followed...

This study was conducted to acquire knowledge on the epidemiology and ecology of some zoonotic agents in snails. Chemical microbiological analysis carried out 46 samples snails belonging species Helix aspersa (Eobania) vermiculata. The association between heavy metals wild snails, a native consumer product Region Sardinia, determined. molecular characterisation Listeria monocytogenes virulence genes has shown genetic profile that deserves more attention for improvement surveillance risk...
