Herein, we developed a novel method for the efficient capture of waterborne bacteria by creating an autonomous internal reflux of the magnetic nanoparticle chains (MNCs) inside a flow channel. A glass tube containing positively charged polyethyleneimine-coated MNCs (PEI-MNCs) was placed at the center of a Halbach ring, generating a strong and unifo...
We have developed a method for rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria from water using a virtual net comprising magnetic nanoparticle clusters (MNC). When an external magnetic field was applied to the antibody-functionalized MNC (Ab-MNC) solution in a glass tube (GT), the Ab-MNCs were aligned along the direction of the applied magnetic field to for...

BackgroundNext-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly being translated into routine public health practice, affecting the surveillance and control of many pathogens. The purpose of this scoping review is to identify and characterize the recent literature concerning the application of bacterial pathogen genomics for public health practice and t...

Salmonellosis is a leading cause of foodborne illnesses in humans with cattle being one of the reservoirs for Salmonella. We estimated a pooled prevalence of Salmonella in apparently healthy cattle and examined serotype diversity through systematic review and meta-analysis of studies published between 2000 and 2017. Peer reviewed publications repor...

The objective of the present study was to compare the thermal inactivation and sublethal injury kinetics of Salmonella enterica and Listeria monocytogenes in broth (suspended cells) and on solid surface (agar-seeded cells). A 3-strain cocktail of S. enterica or L. monocytogenes inoculated in broth or on agar was subjected to heating in a water bath...

Данные обычного эпиднадзора могут свидетельствовать о бремени болезней пищевого происхождения, которое намного ниже его истинных значений. Большая часть бремени болезней пищевого происхождения в Японии приходится на вторичные осложнения. Методы, разработанные FERG, оказались эффективными для оценки бремени болезней и определения приоритетов в сфере...
Quantitative microbial risk assessments (QMRAs) often lack data on water quality leading to great uncertainty in the QMRA because of the many assumptions. The quantity of waste water contamination was estimated and included in a QMRA on an extreme rain event leading to combined sewer overflow (CSO) to bathing water where an ironman competition late...
