Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) contributes to overall tumor progression. In the current survey, we explored ability of microRNA-20a (miR-20a) within these CAF-derived exosomes influence non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Chlorinated water is commonly used in industrial operations to wash and sanitize fresh-cut, minimally processed produce. Here we compared 42 human outbreak strains that represented nine distinct Escherichia coli O157:H7 genetic lineages (or clades) for their relative resistance chlorine treatment. A quantitative measurement of was made by comparing the extension lag phase during growth each strain under exposure sublethal concentrations sodium hypochlorite Luria-Bertani or brain heart...
The human pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is a large concern in the food industry where its continuous detection products has caused string of recalls North America and Europe. Most recognized for ability to grow foods during refrigerated storage, L. can also tolerate several other food-related stresses with some strains possessing higher levels tolerances than others. objective this study was use combination phenotypic analyses whole genome sequencing elucidate potential relationships...
Since many infected people experience no or few symptoms, the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic is frequently monitored through massive virus testing of population, an approach that may be biased and difficult to sustain in low-income countries. RNA can detected stool samples, quantifying genome by RT-qPCR wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) has been carried out as a complementary tool monitor circulation among human populations. However, measuring viral load WWTPs affected experimental environmental...
ABSTRACT Salmonella enterica serovars Enteritidis and Typhimurium are the leading causative agents of salmonellosis in United States. S. is predominantly associated with contamination shell eggs egg products, whereas frequently linked to tainted poultry meats, fresh produce, recently, peanut-based products. Chlorine an oxidative disinfectant commonly used food industry sanitize surfaces foods processing facilities (e.g., meats). However, chlorine disinfection not always effective, as some...
Alfalfa sprouts have been linked to numerous North American outbreaks of
Listeria monocytogenes strains are known to harbour plasmids that confer resistance sanitizers, heavy metals, and antibiotics; however, very little research has been conducted into how may influence L. monocytogenes' ability tolerate food-related stresses. To investigate this, a library (n = 93) of plasmid sequences were compared. Plasmid divided two groups (G1 G2) based on repA phylogeny. Twenty-six unique types observed, with 13 belonging each the repA-based groups. G1 significantly (p <...
Phages infecting members of the opportunistic human pathogen, Salmonella enterica, are widespread in natural environments and offer a potential source agents that could be used for controlling populations this bacterium; yet, relatively little is known about these phages. Here we describe isolation characterization 45 phages enterica from disparate geographic locations within British Columbia, Canada. Host-range profiling revealed host-specific patterns susceptibility resistance, with...
Listeria monocytogenes continues to pose a food safety risk in ready-to-eat foods, including fresh and soft/semisoft cheeses. Despite L. being detected regularly along the cheese production continuum, variations style intrinsic/extrinsic factors throughout process (e.g., pH, water activity, temperature) affect potential for survival growth. As novel preservation strategies against growth of susceptible cheeses, researchers have investigated use various biocontrol strategies, bacteriocins...
The present study aimed to identify the regulatory mechanisms of red, blue, and white light on carotenoid biosynthesis in maize sprouts. Determinations carotenoid, chlorophyll phytohormone profiles, as well relative gene expression, were explored. results identified enhancement production expression. Most notably, expression levels CRY, HY5, beta-carotene 3-hydroxylase genes peaked under blue light. Photomorphogene-related hormone, auxins strigolactone was also altered different lights might...
Abstract Aim The retina and brain share similar anatomical physiological features. Thus, retinal imaging by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) might be a potential tool for the early diagnosis of diabetic cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). In this study, we aimed to evaluate vascular density (VD) in CSVD OCTA explore associations between VD magnetic resonance (MRI) markers cognitive function. Methods total, 131 patients were enrolled, including (n = 43) non‐CSVD groups 88)....
<title>Abstract</title> Background In China, the “1 + X certification” policy has significantly reformed vocational education since 2019. This research integrates Postpartum Recovery” teaching content into midwifery education. It develops “curriculum –certification” course model for majors, improves nursing skills in area, and expands professional value of maternal infant care. Methods Using analysis, we discussed formulated a curriculum credit integration. study comprehensively evaluates...
Produce has become a major source of foodborne illness, and may contaminated through surface water irrigation. The objectives this study were to (i) determine the frequency verotoxigenic E. coli (VTEC), Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella in waters used for irrigation Lower Mainland British Columbia, (ii) assess suitability fecal coliforms generic as hygiene indicators, (iii) investigate correlations environmental factors with pathogen occurrence. Water samples collected semi-monthly 18...
Treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have improved tremendously, but therapeutic resistance is a common and major clinical challenge in treatment. Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) ribonucleic acid (RNA) methyltransferase that has crucial functions the development progression of cancers, including drug resistance, by regulating N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. However, role METTL3 NSCLC poorly understood.The expression levels AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 (AKT1) tissues...
Phage therapy has shown great promise for the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. However, lack a thorough and organized understanding phage-body interactions limited its clinical application. Here, we administered different purified phages (
The Salmonella Syst-OMICS consortium is sequencing 4,500 genomes and building an analysis pipeline for the study of genome evolution, antibiotic resistance virulence genes. Metadata, including phenotypic as well genomic data, isolates collection are provided through Foodborne database (SalFoS), at https://salfos.ibis.ulaval.ca/. Here, we present our strategy first 3,377 genomes. Our data will be used to draw potential links between strains found in fresh produce, humans, animals environment....
