Spain – Extension of information on the alert for the presence of Salmonella Enteritidis in soft cheese made with raw sheep’s milk from Spain

Posted on August 13, 2024 by | Leave a comment

ACSA

cheese

The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) expands the information regarding the alert for the presence of Salmonella Enteritidis in soft cheese made with raw sheep’s milk from Spain (Ref: ES2024 /442) .

As a result of the study of an outbreak of salmonellosis in Catalonia with five affected, a new soft cheese made with raw sheep’s milk from the F ormatgeria Mas d’Eroles brand has tested positive for Salmonella spp.

These products are being withdrawn from the marketing channels since the start of the alert notification.

People who have products included in this alert at home are advised to refrain from consuming them.

As an extension of the information transmitted on 07/08/2024, the autonomous community of Catalonia has informed the Spanish Food Safety and Nutrition Agency through the Coordinated Rapid Information Exchange System (SCIRI) that as a result from the study of an outbreak of salmonellosis in Catalonia with five affected, a new soft cheese made with raw sheep’s milk has tested positive for Salmonella spp.

The updated data for the products involved are:

  • Product name (on label): CLEVER
  • Brand/commercial name: FORMATGERIA MAS D’EROLES
  • Product appearance: Whole piece
  • Lot number: 140524
  • Best before date: 31/12/2024
  • Unit weight: 400 g
  • Temperature: Refrigerated

Research – A Health Threat from Farm to Fork: Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Co-Harbouring blaNDM-1 and mcr-1 in Various Sources of the Food Supply Chain

Posted on August 11, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Abstract

The dissemination of resistant pathogens through food supply chains poses a significant public health risk, spanning from farm to fork. This study analyzed the distribution of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) across various sources within the animal-based food supply chain. A total of 500 samples were collected from livestock, poultry, the environment, fisheries, and dairy. Standard microbiological procedures were employed to isolate and identify E. coli isolates, which were further confirmed using MALDI-TOF and virulence-associated genes (VAGs) such as stx1, stx2, ompT, hylF, iutA, fimH, and iss. The phenotypic resistance patterns of the isolates were determined using the disc diffusion method, followed by molecular identification of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) through PCR. STEC were subjected to PCR-based O typing using specific primers for different O types. Overall, 154 (30.5%) samples were confirmed as E. coli, of which 77 (50%) were multidrug-resistant (MDR) E. coli. Among these, 52 (67.53%) isolates exhibited an array of VAGs, and 21 (40.38%) were confirmed as STEC based on the presence of stx1 and stx2. Additionally, 12 out of 52 (23.07%) isolates were identified as non-O157 STEC co-harbouring mcr-1 and blaNDM-1. O26 STEC was found to be the most prevalent among the non-O157 types. The results suggest that the detection of STEC in food supply chains may lead to serious health consequences, particularly in developing countries with limited healthcare resources.

Research – Cell-free supernatant of Bacillus tequilensis reduces grey mold/mould caused by Botrytis cinerea of blueberry fruit: Inducing phenylpropanoid pathway metabolism

Posted on August 11, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Frontiers In.org

Botrytis cinerea a blueberry grey mould, is one of the main diseases affecting postharvest storage, causing significant losses. To better control the postharvest gray mould of blueberry, the effects of KXF 6501 fermentation solution (YY) and KXF6501 cell-free supernatant (SQ) on the induction of disease resistance in blueberry fruits were studied using biochemical and transcriptomic analyses. The results showed that YY and SQ controlled the conidial germination and mycelial growth of B. cinerea in vitro. After 3 d of culture, the lesion diameter and incidence of gray mould in blueberry fruits inoculated with YY and SQ were significantly smaller than those in the control group. Transcription spectrum analysis of blueberry peel tissue showed that the YY- and SQ-induced phenylpropane metabolic pathways had more differentially expressed genes (DEGs) than other biological pathways. In addition, biochemical analyses showed that YY and SQ treatments effectively enhanced the activity of enzymes related to the phenylpropane pathway (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase [PAL], cinnamate 4-hydroxylase [C4H], 4-coumarate CoA ligase [4CL], and polyphenol oxidase [PPO]) and stimulated the synthesis of lignin, total phenols, and flavonoids. Compared with the control, the YY and SQ treatments reduced the weight loss rate and better maintained the appearance and nutritional quality of the blueberry fruits. Thus, it can be concluded that Bacillus tequilensis KXF6501 is potentially useful as a suitable bio-control agent in harvested blueberries.
