The application of molecular techniques for the rapid and sensitive detection of gastrointestinal pathogens directly in food
… rapid, sensitive and specific means of detecting pathogens, however loss of sensitivity and lack of robustness have been reported when PCR is applied to heterogeneous and complex food matrices. The aim of this study was to establish a rapid, reliable and sensitive molecular method to detect …

Detection and Identification of Gastrointestinal Pathogens in Clinical Samples: Comparison Between two Laboratory Developed Multiplex Real-Time PCR Platforms
… is caused by a wide range of enteric bacteria pathogens including <em>Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter jejuni, </em>and <em> E. coli </em>0157. Conventional methods used in the detection of such pathogens including, culture, microscopy, biochemical identification, and serological testing, …

Enhancing Seafood Quality and Safety by Reducing Reliance on Antibiotics: Applying a Novel Antibody in Tilapia
… enhance animal health and disease resistance to pathogens without the use of antibiotics. The overall purpose of this study was to explore a potential prophylactic, a novel antibody diet, for the bacterial pathogen, Aeromonas hydrophila, in tilapia. The tilapia were on an anti-interleukin-10 …

Determinants of Core Shell Dependent Rotavirus Polymerase Activity
Rotaviruses (RVs) are medically significant gastrointestinal pathogens and are a leading cause of childhood mortality in many countries. The RV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, VP1, synthesizes RNA during viral replication only in the presence of another RV protein, VP2, which comprises the innermost …

Colonocyte-Derived Lactate Promotes Enterobacteriaceae Fitness During Non-Infectious Colitis
… such as exchange of metabolites or resistance to gastrointestinal pathogens. In disease, however, the perturbation of these complex interactions can exacerbate pathogenesis. In this study, we examine the mechanisms promoting the disruption of normal host-microbe interactions after perturbances …

Characterisation of Escherichia coli of the bovine intestinal tract
Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) are important gastrointestinal pathogens of humans. E. coli serotype O157:H7 is the EHEC most commonly associated with human illness. E. coli O157:H7 is carried asymptomatically by cattle which form an important reservoir for the bacterium. E. coli O157:H7 has been …
