Comparison between dipping and spraying methods to inhibit bacterial growth on artificially contaminated pork meat showed greater effectiveness of the latter method during the whole low-temperature one-week storage of product. These results suggest that the spraying method could be successful in directly applying antimicrobials to food products.

Serotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella’s isolates from broiler production chain were determined. A total of 239 isolated strains from chicken, carcasses, breeding environments, and slaughter was analyzed by disk diffusion test, in the period of 2009 to 2010. For antibiotics with a high number of resistant strains, the minimal inhi...

We examined the circulating BVDV species and genotypes among cattle herds from Northeast, Southeast, and Midwest regions in Brazil. A total of 77 animals tested positive through standard PCR. Phylogenetic analyses revealed the presence of BVDV-1a, highlighting the need for better surveillance strategies to prevent BVDV spread in the country.

Coronaviruses are single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses associated with important avian diseases. Their relatively high rates of mutation and recombination frequencies allow them to adapt to new hosts and ecological niches. Although Brazil has 18% of global avian species diversity, studies regarding the presence of avian viral diseases in wild...

Recombinant virus vectors represent a promising strategy for vaccine research. Among available viral vectors, members of the Poxviridae family—especially the modified Vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA)—stand out as immunogenic and safe vaccine platforms. Because MVA usually does not produce plaques in cell culture, visible selection markers such as the gr...

Bovine pestiviruses, e.g., bovine viral diarrhea virus types 1 (BVDV-1 or Pestivirus A), BVDV-2 (Pestivirus B), and HoBi-like pestiviruses (HoBiPeV or Pestivirus H), have been shown to circulate in Brazilian cattle in varied proportions. In this study, we identified genetically pestiviruses circulating in beef cattle in Rio Grande do Sul, the south...

Fusarium crown and root rot (FCRR), caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici (FORL), is a soilborne tomato disease of increased importance worldwide. In this study, Withania somnifera was used as a potential source of biological control and growth-promoting agents. Seven fungal isolates naturally associated with W. somnifera were abl...

Studying biofilm dispersal is important to prevent Listeria monocytogenes persistence in food processing plants and to avoid finished product contamination. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen intermediates (ROI and RNI, respectively) may trigger cell detachment from many bacterial species biofilms, but their roles in L. monocytogenes biofilms have not be...
