The demand for rapid methods the quantification of pathogens is increasing. Among these methods, those based on nucleic acids amplification (quantitative PCRs) are most widespread worldwide. Together with qPCR, a new approach named digital PCR (dPCR), has rapidly gained importance. aim our study was to compare results obtained using two different dPCR systems and one qPCR in three bacterial pathogens: Listeria monocytogenes, Francisella tularensis, Mycobacterium avium subsp....
(1) Background: The surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in urban wastewaters allows one to monitor the presence virus a population, including asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals, capturing real circulation this pathogen. aim study was evaluate performance different pre-analytical analytical methods for identifying untreated municipal samples by conducting an inter-laboratory proficiency test. (2) Methods: three concentration, namely, (A) Dextran PEG-6000 two-phase separation, (B) PEG-8000...
(NoV) is an enteric virus with foodborne transmission. Bivalve shellfish are a main source of infections and outbreaks. In Italy voluntary based monitoring plan to check the safety bivalve was set up at provincial level. This study describes occurrence distribution NoV in Northern Adriatic Sea Ligurian Sea. From October 2018 September 2020, 807 samples (
This study investigated the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus in raw milk dairy products handcrafted traditional alpine small-scale farms, and characterised enterotoxigenicity resistance to methicillin. Among analysed samples, 69% exceeded international microbiological recommendations. The highest counts were observed for cheese or fatty (~106 cfu/g). Conversely, lower contamination levels concerned whey (~102 A total 163 S. isolates collected, MRSA was low (1.7%) but not negligible....
Abstract Background The import of Asian food is strongly increasing in the EU. In Italy, market has expanded over last 3 decades. Unfortunately, labelling these products often implies errors, mainly due to linguistic differences. Consequently, it can become a consistent problem regarding safety, particular for allergens declaration. According EU Reg. 1169/2011 (Annex II), must be labelled bold and translated current language Member State. non-compliant could enhance probability allergic...
Abstract Background Bacillus cereus, responsible for 1.4%-12% of all food poisoning outbreaks worldwide, produces several virulence factors, including toxins which are mainly found in raw and processed food, as starch-based dairy products. It can cause two types gastrointestinal diseases: emetic form, with nausea vomiting appears soon after consumption, diarrheal abdominal cramps, occurs 8-16 h. Moreover, B. cereus is the most common pathogen pasteurized human milk, a precious aid neonatal...
In 2019, SARS-CoV-2 was identified as the cause of an easily transmissible disease that declared a world pandemic. Foodborne transmission never reported. However, early studies suggested food could be involved in entry human gastrointestinal tract leading to possible infection, and highlighting importance further inspect issues linked consumption. this perspective, work aimed at monitoring presence some mains water samples Northern Italy during COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2022). A total 1806...
Abstract Background Sars-CoV2 pandemic has shown the importance of wastewater surveillance to monitor virus diffusion and its environmental permanence; WHO experts highlighted controls as early detection system individuate other viruses which could potentially spread population. The aim this work was investigate presence in from Brescia, Cremona Bergamo cities during 2021-2023 years after event. Methods From end 2021 until now, 341 samples were collected analyzed at Food Control department...
Abstract Background Wastewaters surveillance has proven to be a valuable tool in detecting the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens. Enterovirus (EV) Human bocavirus (HBoV) are viruses that can infect humans, causing mild severe pathologies transmitted also through fecal-oral route. EVs ssRNA viruses, grouped among four taxonomic species EV-A D. HBoV is ssDNA virus mainly affects infants. Genus Bocavirus includes 4 genotypes: HBoV1 4, detected feces. HBoVs infections often not notified,...
Abstract Background SARS CoV2 pandemic has generated interest in research of virus spread sources, apart from human contagion. In particular different studies are performed to understand surfaces involvement; during the epidemic event, types on have been performed. However, there is little information regarding presence food; wastewater contamination and poor hygiene practices could be sources viral handled food products. The aim this work was analyze for Sars CoV 2 presence. Methods 390...
