Abstract:
ABSTRACTLegionella pneumophilais a Gram-negative opportunistic human pathogen that causes a severe pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease. Notably, in the human host, the organism is believed to replicate solely within an intracellular compartment, predominantly within pulmonary macrophages. Consequently, successful therapy is predicated on antimicrobials penetrating into this intracellular growth niche. However, standard antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods test solely for extracellular growth inhibition. Here, we make use of a high-throughput assay to characterize intracellular gro

Infectious diseases resulting from bacterial pathogens are the most common causes of patient morbidity and mortality worldwide. The rapid identification of the pathogens and their antibiotic resistances is crucial for proper clinical management. However, the standard culture-based diagnostic approach requires a minimum of two days from the initial specimen collection to result reporting. As a consequence, broad-spectrum antibiotics are often prescribed under the worst-case assumption without knowledge of the pathogens or their resistances.

The Copper Development Association (CDA) has identified over 450 copper alloys registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as antimicrobial. With growing antibiotic resistance, there is a need for copper coatings with increased antimicrobial capability. Cold spray is a high velocity, high deposition rate process that forms dense coatings with little to no oxides or inclusions. It is possible that this process contributes to the increased antimicrobial capability of copper cold spray coatings as compared to other additive processes. The focus of this effort is to understand

The reported 1-year study tested the feasibility ofpreparing antimicrobial and antioxidant nanoparticlesfunctionalized with natural phenolic compounds, as a first step to reach the ultimate goal - improving safely and quality of foods by developing novel antimicrobial and antioxidant food-contacting materials. The secondary objectives of the study were (a) selecting the most promising phenoliccompounds, (b) building nanoparticles with the selected phenolicgrafted on their Surface, and (c) testing antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of these particles. The study was expect

Background. In this proposal we suggest developing a common solution for three seemingly unrelated acute problems: (1) improving sustainability of fast-growing mushroom industry producing worldwide millions of tons of underutilized leftovers; (2) alleviating the epidemic of vitamin D deficiency adversely affecting the public health in both countries and in other regions; (3) reducing spoilage of perishable fruit and vegetable products leading to food wastage. Based on our previous experience we propose utilizing appropriately processed mushroom byproducts as a source of two valuable bioactive

Abstract:
Frozen, breaded, ready-to-cook chicken products have been implicated in outbreaks of salmonellosis. Some of these outbreaks can be large. For example, one outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis involved 193 people in nine countries between 2018 and 2020, of which 122 cases were in the UK. These ready-to-cook products have a browned, cooked external appearance, which may be perceived as ready-to-eat, leading to mishandling or undercooking by consumers. Continuing concerns about these products led FSA to initiate a short-term (four month), cross-sectional surveillance study undertaken in 2021 to det

Abstract:
Campylobacter spp. are the most common bacterial cause of foodborne illness in the UK, with chicken considered to be the most important vehicle for this organism. The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) agreed with industry to reduce Campylobacter spp. contamination in raw chicken and issued a target to reduce the prevalence of the most contaminated chickens (those with more than 1000 cfu per g chicken neck skin) to below 10 % at the end of the slaughter process, initially by 2016. To help monitor progress, a series of UK-wide surveys were undertaken to determine the levels of Campylobacter spp. on

Abstract:
To meet new Department of Defense (DoD) energy standards, buildings are being constructed, and existing buildings are being retrofitted with tighter envelops. These new standards can reduce operational costs significantly but also limit fresh outdoor air coming into the built environments. This can result in the accumulation of harmful substances within buildings, which can have adverse effects on its occupants. New photocatalytic coatings may be a solution to this ever-increasing problem as they have the ability to destroy both chemical and biological toxins when activated with light. This wo

Abstract:
The overall goal of this project was to elucidate the role of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil retention, bioavailability and plant uptake of silver and cerium oxide NPs. The environmental risks of manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) are attracting increasing attention from both industrial and scientific communities. These NPs have shown to be taken-up, translocated and bio- accumulated in plant edible parts. However, very little is known about the behavior of NPs in soil-plant system as affected by dissolved organic matter (DOM). Thus DOM effect on NPs behavior is critical to assessing the

Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in E. coli and Campylobacter from retail turkey meat and E. coli from retail lamb in 2020/21. Food Standards Agency, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.46756/sci.fsa.hlo814.

Abstract:
The FSA's AMR surveillance programme has been established for several years, with a particular focus on retail meats. Between 2015 and 2020, we participated in an EU-harmonised survey on AMR E. coli in retail meats, which generated AMR prevalence data in beef, pork and chicken, collected at retail in the UK. The survey confirmed that chicken, and to a lesser extent beef and pork, can be contaminated with AMR E. coli. However, there is no equivalent AMR data for lamb and turkey meat on retail sale in the UK. To address this gap in our AMR surveillance, we extended the EU survey of AMR E. coli i
