Elimination of Vibrio parahaemolyticus biofilms on crab and shrimp surfaces using ultraviolet C irradiation coupled with sodium hypochlorite and slightly acidic electrolyzed water

Pantu Kumar Roy et al.

Summary: The study found that slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) alone had a significant impact on Vibrio parahaemolyticus biofilms, while the combined treatments of UV-C/NaOCl and UV-C/SAEW also effectively reduced the pathogen levels in seafood products.

Microscopy Methods for Biofilm Imaging: Focus on SEM and VP-SEM Pros and Cons

Michela Relucenti et al.

Summary: Bacterial biofilms cause infections that are often resistant to antibiotics, necessitating detailed imaging techniques for research. Scanning electron microscopy with customized protocols is preferred for ultrastructural characterization of biofilm matrix and bacterial cells in drug treatment studies, providing unparalleled image quality and resolution. Various imaging methodologies, including traditional and innovative scanning electron microscopy techniques, have been used in biofilm studies to deepen understanding of their structure.

Molecular and pathogenic characterization of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from seafood

Md. Ashrafudoulla et al.

Summary: Infections of gastroenteritis in humans are mainly caused by consumption of shellfish contaminated with Vibrio parahaemolyticus, leading to health and economic losses. Investigation on the virulence factor production, antibiotic resistance profile, and biofilm-forming capacity of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates showed high resistance to antibiotics and virulence factors in isolates from shellfish in Korea. Monitoring of these factors may help in decreasing V. parahaemolyticus infections and ensuring seafood safety.

Prevalence, toxigenic profiles, multidrug resistance, and biofilm formation of Bacillus cereus isolated from ready-to eat cooked rice in Penang, Malaysia

Yugenraj Navaneethan et al.

Summary: The study revealed the presence of Bacillus cereus in 100 ready-to-eat cooked rice samples from food outlets in Penang Island, with strains carrying multiple toxin genes and showing antibiotic resistance, including multidrug-resistant strains. These strains were also capable of forming biofilms in food, which could contribute to recurrent contamination.

A new approach to identifying pathogens, with particular regard to viruses, based on capillary electrophoresis and other analytical techniques

Boguslaw Buszewski et al.

Summary: Fast determination and identification of pathogens is crucial in various fields, especially during pandemics like COVID-19. Innovative methods combining electromigration techniques and laser desorption/ionization analysis can simultaneously analyze the proteome, lipidome, and genome of pathogens.

Effects of environmental conditions (temperature, pH, and glucose) on biofilm formation of Salmonella enterica serotype Kentucky and virulence gene expression

Pantu Kumar Roy et al.

Summary: Higher temperatures (25 to 42 degrees C) and pH values (7.0 and 8.0) led to more robust biofilm formation than lower temperatures (4 and 10 degrees C) and lower pH levels (4.0 to 6.0). Biofilm formation was induced by 0.025% glucose during incubation at the optimum temperature (37 degrees C) and pH (7.0) but inhibited by 0.4% glucose.

Sporulation is dispensable for the vegetable-associated life cycle of the human pathogen Bacillus cereus

Maria Luisa Antequera-Gomez et al.

Summary: Bacillus cereus is a common food-borne pathogen that can cause food poisoning in humans, with symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea. The study found that sporulation is necessary for the survival of B. cereus in leaves, but not essential in ready-to-eat vegetables. It also highlighted the underestimated number of food poisoning cases associated with B. cereus and the need to revise detection protocols based on spores and toxins.
