A 3D magnetic trap is integrated on a polymeric microfluidic device using rapid low-cost fabrication. The used for efficient capture and release of bacteria conjugated to immunomagnetic nanoparticles.
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....
Automated workflow that starts with a colony isolate and ends fluorescence signal on DNA microarray.
Abstract Precautionary allergen labeling (PAL) is widely used by food industries. Occurrence studies revealed that few analyzed products contained the allergen(s) present in statement, but little known Canada. To improve manufacturing practices and better manage cross-contamination, occurrence data needed to determine exposure of allergic individuals eating those products. Samples were for peanuts ( n = 871) hazelnuts 863) using ELISA methods. Within samples peanuts, 72% had a PAL 628), 1%...
Food allergies are life-threatening conditions that allergic individuals can avoid by consulting the food labels before consuming. Precautionary allergen labelling (or PAL), to warn against possible cross-contamination, is widely used industries, reducing choices for individuals. In Canada, there limited information on actual occurrence of allergens in products with a PAL related given allergen. This study attempted fill data gap evaluating milk and egg Canadian PAL. A total 1125 samples...
Sesame allergy is a public health problem in many countries around the world. The purpose of this study to determine occurrence sesame allergen unlabelled or labelled free-sesame Middle Eastern foods with without Precautionary Allergen Labelling (PAL) 'may contain' and estimate risk incurred by Canadian population allergic focus on products purchased grocery stores bakeries Montreal, Canada. A total 571 samples were analysed level protein. Of analysed, 19% (109/571) contained (results >LOQ)...
The occurrence of egg proteins in products containing spent fowl manufactured under current practices was studied to assess the risk these food may pose egg-allergic consumers and determine if Precautionary Allergen Labelling (PAL) recommended. Spent slaughtering processing operations 2 Canadian facilities were observed. Raw hen pieces (n = 134), coming from facilities, intermediate processed 57), one facility, analyzed using ELISA. All samples tested positive for proteins. a qualitative...
Benzimidazole-based drugs have been used to treat Haemonchus contortus and other gastrointestinal nematode infestations in sheep. However, numerous cases of benzimidazole-resistance H. reported worldwide. The fecal egg count reduction test (FECRT), which consists comparing parasite counts feces before after treatment, is a technique commonly assess anthelmintic resistance. Unfortunately, this method not very sensitive dependent on factors that can distort the results. Veterinarians farmers...
