The aim of this work was to use glycerol (Gly) and sorbitol (Sor) as plasticizers with oxidized starch potato (OS) produce biodegradable environmentally friendly films, demonstrate the resulting physicochemical functional viability without subtracting organoleptic characteristics food. Analyses by water vapor permeability (WVP), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectra (ATR-FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), tensile strength (TS), transparency (UV) showed that...

Non-typhoidal Salmonella is responsible for gastrointestinal illnesses worldwide. Therefore, it important to implement effective therapeutic interventions preventing these diseases. Vaccines have proven highly efficacious in the treatment and prevention of several illnesses. Nevertheless, there currently no authorized vaccine available non-typhoidal salmonellosis. This study aimed employ silico techniques develop a multi-epitope targeting Specifically, we focused on proteins associated with...

Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen that can form biofilms on food contact surfaces (FCS) in the dairy industry, posing a serious safety, and quality concern. Biofilm complex system, influenced by nutritional-related factors regulate synthesis of components biofilm matrix. This study determines prevalence biofilm-associated genes evaluates development under different growth conditions compositions produced S. aureus.Biofilms were developed TSB, TSBG, TSBNaCl, TSBGNaCl...

Biofilm formation by E. coli is a serious threat to meat processing plants. Chemical disinfectants often fail eliminate biofilms; thus, bacteriophages are promising alternative solve this problem, since they widely distributed, environmentally friendly, and nontoxic humans. In study, the biofilm of 10 strains isolated from industry ATCC BAA-1430 11303 were evaluated. Three strains, contact surfaces, showed adhesion ability produced extracellular polymeric substances. Biofilms these three...

Listeria monocytogenes is an important pathogen that has been implicated in foodborne illness. The aim of the present study was to investigate diversity virulence factors associated with mechanisms pathogenicity, persistence, and formation biofilm L. by tandem analysis whole-genome sequencing. lineages presented (LmAV-2, LmAV-3, LmAV-6) from Hass avocados were I II. pathogenicity island 1 (LIPI-1) LIPI-2 found isolates, while LIPI-3 genomic (LGI-2) only IIb.

Salmonella enterica is known for its disease-causing serotypes, including Montevideo and Pomona. These serotypes have been found in various environments, river water, sediments, food, animals. However, the global spread of these has increased, leading to many reported infections outbreaks. The goal this study was genomic analysis 48 strains S. Pomona isolated from different sources, clinical. Results showed that environmental carried more antibiotic resistance genes than clinical strains,...

Salmonella is a major foodborne pathogen widely distributed in the environment. Surface water, soil, and sediments may confer protective effect on against non-host conditions. This study focused determining prevalence of spp. river from Sinaloa central region by Most Probable Number (MPN) technique antimicrobial resistance profile Kirby-Bauer assay. Results showed 37.5 to 62.5% samples, oscillating 0.322 20 MPN/4g, with August being month highest levels. In silico geno-serotyping reveals...

AbstractEnterococcus faecium is a part of the microbiota in fermented and dairy products. However, acquisition virulence determinants turns this bacterium into pathogen. To evaluate genetic relatedness profile, we performed whole-genome sequencing four E. strains isolated from industry compared them to clinical environmental isolates reported Mexico. Our findings revealed close relationships between certain dairy-associated isolates, with shared antibiotic-resistance prophages. Notably,...
