Research- Chine -Pre-planned Studies: Pathogenic Surveillance of Foodborne Illness-Related Diarrhea — Beijing Municipality, China, 2013–2023

Posted on June 15, 2024 by | Leave a comment

China CDC

  • Summary

    What is already known about this topic?Foodborne diseases present a significant public health concern, particularly in China, where they represent a significant food safety challenge. Currently, there is a need for a thorough and systematic analysis of the extended epidemiological patterns of foodborne diseases in Beijing Municipality.

    What is added by this report?Monitoring results show that Norovirus and diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) are the most commonly identified foodborne diarrheal pathogens. Individuals aged 19–30 are at a higher risk of foodborne diarrhea in Beijing, with Salmonella infection being associated with fever symptoms.

    What are the implications for public health practice?This study analyzes 11 years of consecutive monitoring data to enhance understanding of the epidemiological and clinical features of foodborne diarrhea in Beijing. It aims to identify high-risk populations, assist in clinical pathogen identification and treatment, and support the development of tailored preventive strategies.

Research – Acid Adaptation Enhances Tolerance of Escherichia coli O157:H7 to High Voltage Atmospheric Cold Plasma in Raw Pineapple Juice

Posted on June 8, 2024 by | Leave a comment

MDPI

Abstract

Pathogens that adapt to environmental stress can develop an increased tolerance to some physical or chemical antimicrobial treatments. The main objective of this study was to determine if acid adaptation increased the tolerance of Escherichia coli O157:H7 to high voltage atmospheric cold plasma (HVACP) in raw pineapple juice. Samples (10 mL) of juice were inoculated with non-acid-adapted (NAA) or acid-adapted (AA) E. coli to obtain a viable count of ~7.00 log10 CFU/mL. The samples were exposed to HVACP (70 kV) for 1–7 min, with inoculated non-HVACP-treated juice serving as a control. Juice samples were analyzed for survivors at 0.1 h and after 24 h of refrigeration (4 °C). Samples analyzed after 24 h exhibited significant decreases in viable NAA cells with sub-lethal injury detected in both NAA and AA survivors (p < 0.05). No NAA survivor in juice exposed to HVACP for 5 or 7 min was detected after 24 h. However, the number of AA survivors was 3.33 and 3.09 log10 CFU/mL in juice treated for 5 and 7 min, respectively (p < 0.05). These results indicate that acid adaptation increases the tolerance of E. coli to HVACP in pineapple juice. The potentially higher tolerance of AA E. coli O157:H7 to HVACP should be considered in developing safe juice processing parameters for this novel non-thermal technology.

USA – Cargill recalls ground beef from Walmart stores because of E. coli contamination

Posted on June 4, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

Cargill Meat Solutions, a Hazleton, PA., establishment, is recalling more than 16,000 pounds of raw ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.

The ground beef was shipped to Walmart stores nationwide.

“FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase,” according to the recall notice.

Research – Development of Predictive Modelling for Removal of Multispecies Biofilms of Salmonella Enteritidis, Escherichia coli, and Campylobacter jejuni from Poultry Slaughterhouse Surfaces

Posted on June 1, 2024 by | Leave a comment

MDPI

Abstract

Salmonella Enteritidis, Escherichia coli, and Campylobacter jejuni are among the most common foodborne pathogens worldwide, and poultry products are strongly associated with foodborne pathogen outbreaks. These pathogens are capable of producing biofilms on several surfaces used in the food processing industry, including polyethylene and stainless steel. However, studies on multi-species biofilms are rare. Therefore, this study aimed to develop predictive mathematical models to simulate the adhesion and removal of multispecies biofilms. All combinations of microorganisms resulted in biofilm formation with differences in bacterial counts. E. coli showed the greatest ability to adhere to both surfaces, followed by S. Enteritidis and C. jejuni. The incubation time and temperature did not influence adhesion. Biofilm removal was effective with citric acid and benzalkonium chloride but not with rhamnolipid. Among the generated models, 46 presented a significant coefficient of determination (R2), with the highest R2 being 0.88. These results provide support for the poultry industry in creating biofilm control and eradication programs to avoid the risk of contamination of poultry meat.
