Listeria monocytogenes is a microscopic organism responsible for foodborne illnesses that frequently result in death. Recently published research shows how it can multiply up to seven-fold on food contact surfaces
Scientists have been awarded funding to explore how some healthy people are naturally protected from being infected by Salmonella Typhimurium.
The five-year project will receive more than £4.5 million
A new study shows that vaccination of food handlers is an effective way to reduce the spread of hepatitis A.
The study, published in the journal Frontiers, says hepatitis A
Recent research looked at the prevalence of E. coli and other pathogens on organically grown vegetables.
The research team was concerned with poultry litter compost and heat-treated poultry litter pellets
A project has been awarded funding to investigate a strain of Salmonella often found in cattle.
The grant will fund research to explore the genetic and phenotypic variations within Salmonella
In a shift away from GMOS, aka genetically modified organisms, important research is continuing in gene editing, sometimes referred to as “the next big thing in agriculture.”
The important difference
More than 100 projects have received support as part of the 2024 European Research Council (ERC) proof of concept competition.
Each grant is worth €150,000 ($157,300) and helps
Researchers at Purdue University are working with the FDA and Indiana officials on a study to help increase the safety of cantaloupe.
Specifically, the scientists are looking at salmonella prevalence
Recalling that some papers mention that Salmonella is a hazard that should be addressed, I peeked in my preharvest folder for quotes. Here are some from 2024.
Salmonella, a Gram-negative,
