Development of 11-plex assay for the rapid screening of samples for detection of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) have been identified by the USDA as a serious threat to the nations health stemming from contaminations in the food supply, specifically, the beef chain. I have developed an assay that is able to screen samples for STEC in a rapid and multiplexed …

Surface Directed Monoclonal Antibodies against STEC Aid in the Reduction of Pathogen Detection Times from Food and Water
… Food Inspection Agency for the detection of Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) are time consuming and tedious, taking up to 5 days before a positive sample can be confirmed. The goal of this project was to streamline the detection procedure for serogroup O157 and 6 important non-O157 …

Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli: a Public Health Challenge in the Pre-Harvest Stage of the Farm-to-Table Continuum
Escherichia coli is part of the normal gastrointestinal microbiota of many animals, especially cattle. While most strains are commensal, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) can cause severe human illness. Pathogenicity of STEC is associated with genes such as those encoding Shiga toxins, …

Detection of food contaminants by SERS and nanopore technology
… of MG and CV in fish samples. Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a serotype of the bacterial species E. coli and is one of the Shiga-toxin producing E. coli. Infection of E. coli O157:H7 will come up with several typical clinical symptoms, including bloody or non-bloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic …

Simulation studies to profile development and control of mixed-culture static and dynamic biofilms during extended raw beef processing operations using combinations of nanobubble water and peracetic acid
… of five USDA-approved non-pathogenic Escherichia coli strains (surrogates for pathogenic Shiga toxin-producing E. coli), while control samples remained non-inoculated. The static study tested the efficacy of antimicrobial solutions with 5% or 10% (v/v) beef purge over an extended period of 10 …

Comparative Studies of Escherichia Coli and Salmonela Servars isolated from Kafue Lechwe and Pastrol Cattle in the Interface Areas of the Kafue Flats of Zambia
… which 248 (19.3%) had growth characteristics as Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O157 (STEC) on sorbitol MacConkey agar and CHROMagar O157. Of 248 suspected STEC isolates, 104 (41.9%) were from Kafue lechwe while 144 (58.1%) were from pastoral cattle. Only 18 out of 104 (17.3%) E. coli isolates from …

Epidemiología molecular en Escherichia coli procedente de fauna salvaje: resistencia antimicrobiana, virulencia y diversidad y diversidad genética
… the extent of antimicrobial resistant E. coli in wildlife, the major circulating clones, the mechanisms and genetic platforms involved in the flow of resistance genes between humans, animals, and the environment, and potential wild reservoirs of zoonotic E. coli pathotypes. In the first …
