Understanding the functional role of bacterial genes in the persistence of Salmonella in plant organs can facilitate the development of agricultural practices to mitigate food safety risks associated with the consumption of fresh produce contaminated with Salmonella spp. Our study showed that ...

Salmonella Pullorum is the cause of Pullorum disease. The misuse of antimicrobials has resulted in the evolution of resistant strains. Meniran (Phyllanthus niruri Linn.) and Sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata Ness.) contain compounds that are efficacious as antibacterial and immunomodulatory. This...

Salmonella can become viable but nonculturable (VBNC) in response to environmental stressors, but the induction of the VBNC state in Salmonella contaminating ready-to-eat dried fruit is poorly characterized. Dried apples, strawberries, and raisins were mixed with a five-strain cocktail of ...

Tomatoes are a valuable crop consumed year-round. Ripe fruit is picked for local sale, whereas tomatoes intended for transit may be harvested at late mature green or breaker stages when fruit firmness preserves quality. In this study, we evaluated Solanum lycopersicum cv. BHN602 association with...

Fresh vegetables are closely associated with foodborne disease outbreaks; however, systematic analysis of the microbiological quality of fresh vegetables and molecular information on foodborne pathogens in fresh produce are poorly reported in China. Here, we evaluated the epidemiological prevalence ...

The present study aimed at investigation of the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella spp. in the retailed dairies in Egypt. Besides, the inhibitory effects of some natural additives, including, ascorbic acid, pomegranate peel extract, and D-tryptophan against the isolated ...

Plants influence epiphytic bacterial associations but Salmonella enterica colonizes crop plants commensally, raising the possibility of human foodborne illness, but the factors that mediate human pathogen-plant associations remain understudied. We evaluated whether any changes in leaf tissue and...

In this study, experimentally contaminated eggs with Salmonella were immersed for 3 min in distilled water (DW), lemon juice (L), vinegar (S) and lemon juice+vinegar (LS), and then stored at three different conditions such as: (i) 4°C for 28 days, (ii) 25°C for 28 days, (iii) 4°C for 10 days...

Epidemics of foodborne salmonellosis are playing havoc in both developed and developing countries. Salmonella spp. such as Salmonella enteritidis, S. typhimurium, and S. typhi play important roles in causing foodborne salmonellosis in humans. Antibiotics are used to treat Salmonella infections;...

Most bacteria are becoming resistant to almost all of the currently recommended drugs, leading to difficulty in their treatment. The present study focused on evaluating the therapeutic potential of Piper longum fruit extracts in terms of bactericidal, antioxidant and phytochemical evaluation by...
