Detection of Listeria monocytogenes in Milk and Ice Cream by Polymerase Chain Reaction
Abstract: Abstract The present study was undertaken to standardize PCR assay for detection of L. monocytogenes and Listeriolysin O from livestock foods and compare its efficacy with conventional cultural methods. A set of primer derived from iap gene and other set derived from hlyA gene were used for detection of L. monocytogenes and Listeriolysin O in the PCR assay. The PCR assay was initially standardized by optimizing the concentration of the …

Contamination of Salad Vegetables by Enteropathogens
Abstract: Salad vegetables provide nutrients, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and are often consumed without cooking. The consumption of salad vegetables is a risk factor for infection by enteric bacterial, viral and parasitic pathogens. Vegetables that are consumed raw, are recognized as an important channel for the transmission of enteropathogens and considered as a high risk of microbiological contamination product. This mini review is based on the selected articles searched in research databases. …

Isolation and Characterization of Lantibiotic Producing Lactic Acid Bacteria from Ambali, Aged Mango Pickle Probiotics
Abstract: Each year in the US at least 2 million people are sickened with antibiotic resistant infection. The development of antibiotics was one of the most important advances of medicine. Many bacterial infections (e.g. tuberculosis and infected wounds) that previously had no effective treatment and often killed people became treatable with antibiotics, saving millions of lives. Now, because of the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, bacterial infections that were once easily …

Antibacterial Activity of Seed Extracts of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) against Selected Pathogens
Abstract: The aim of the study was to determine the antibacterial potency of aqueous and ethanoic extracts of Abelmoschus esculentus seeds. Antibacterial activity of aqueous and ethanoic extracts of A. esculentus seeds were evaluated against selected foodborne pathogens; Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) using agar well diffusion method by measuring the clear zone of inhibition diameter in (mm). It was observed that the aqueous and …
