Microbiological Safety and Quality of Raw, Ready-to-Eat (RTE) Seafood Sold in Orange County, California
<p>Raw, ready-to-eat (RTE) seafood can pose health threats due to the potential presence of foodborne pathogens. <em>Listeria monocytogenes </em>is a known microbiological hazard associated with raw, RTE seafood. <em>Salmonella enterica</em> has not traditionally been recognized as a hazard in …

The effects of unprocessed and processed oat bran on mineral bioavailability in adult men
… metabolic balance study. The study was divided into preliminary, controlled feeding and follow-up periods of 4 weeks each. The controlled feeding period was subdivided into two 8 day balance periods. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: a basal diet low in dietary fiber; …

Using model miniature ham as a high-throughput tool to screen antimicrobials targeting l. Monocytogenes
The foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes can be transmitted through eating contaminated foods, with outbreaks associated with ready-to-eat (RTE) products, such as deli ham, turkey, and hot dogs. Luncheon meats are often formulated with antimicrobial agents to limit the growth of this …

Evaluating Mislabeling of Raw, Ready-To-Eat Seafood Products in Orange County, California
<p>Raw, ready-to-eat (RTE) seafood products have become increasingly popular globally, but they are vulnerable to species mislabeling and substitution. DNA barcoding allows for fish species identification by extracting, amplifying, and sequencing a standardized gene target. A wide variety of fish …

Minimum Ultraviolet Light Dose Determination and Characterization of Stress Responses that Affect Dose for Listeria monocytogenes Suspended in Distilled Water, Fresh Brine, and Spent Brine
Foodborne illnesses caused by Listeria monocytogenes have long been associated with ready-to-eat (RTE) meats contaminated after the primary thermal process has been applied. It is believed that brine solutions used to chill cooked RTE products may serve as a reservoir for L. monocytogenes becoming …

Inhibiting Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Morganella morganii with Aqueous Methanol Extracts of Punica granatum and Galla chinensis
Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Morganella morganii are closely related to foodborne illnesses caused by the consumption of seafood and ready-to-eat (RTE) food. Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) have been widely studied as complementary and alternative medicines, and many of …

Application of Bacteriophage in Food Manufacturing Facilities for the Control of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria sp
The purpose of this research was to determine if bacteriophage (phage) could be used to treat and reduce the incidence of Listeria in food manufacturing facilities, and thereby reduce the risk of food products being cross-contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria incidence in food …

Mitigating Prevalence and Persistence of L. monocytogenes using Novel Sanitation Strategies in Delis
<p>Ready-to-eat (RTE) deli meats sliced at retail are predicted to cause 83% of deli meat-associated listeriosis cases annually. While <em>L. monocytogenes </em>is commonly found in delis (55-90%), environmental prevalence varies by store (0-40%). Study 1 evaluated efficacy of 10 standardized SSOPs …

Effect of Simulated Storage and Distribution on Listeria innocua Growth in Non-traditional Salad Ingredients
… has seen expansive growth in recent years, to meet consumer demand ready-to-eat (RTE) salads have included the use of non-traditional ingredients. Uncommon ingredients include beet greens, kale, broccoli stalk, and Brussels sprouts, since these ingredients have not historically been consumed …

Examining cross contamination pathways for foodborne pathogens in a retail deli environment using an abiotic surrogate
… cross contamination pathways is essential to reducing the risk of food product contamination. The use of a fluorescing abiotic surrogate (GloGermTM) to visualize the potential spread of bacteria may be beneficial to researchers. To quantify cross contamination during experimental trials in …

Characterization of virulence-attenuated Listeria monocytogenes common among food and food-associated environments but rarely associated with disease
Studies were conducted to characterize virulence-attenuated Listeria monocytogenes isolates carrying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) leading to a premature stop codon (PMSC) in the key virulence gene, inlA. The virulence factor Internalin A (InlA; encoded by inlA), facilitates the uptake of …
