Attachment and Biofilm Formation of Foodborne Pathogens
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Outbreaks of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli are increasingly attributed to fresh produce. Current control measures have been assessed for decades, with no alternatives adopted. Sources were ... -
Biofilm Formation of Escherichia coli from Surface Soils is Influenced by Variation in Cell Envelope, Iron Metabolism, and Attachment Factor Genes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Biofilm formation may increase survival and persistence of Escherichia coli in the highly variable conditions of soil environments, though it remains unknown the extent variation in biofilm formation affects survival. We ... -
Brucellosis Epidemiology, Virulence Factors, Control and Molecular Targets to Prevent Bacterial Infectious Diseases
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Brucellosis is a bacterial zoonosis that infects both professional phagocytic and nonphagocytic cells in the hosts. Brucella intracellular survival is important for its virulence. In a study to establish the seroprevalence ... -
Gene Regulation in Biofilms
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Sessile bacterial communities which form on the solid surface or solid-liquid interface are known as biofilms. Both single species and multispecies biofilms are characterized by an extracellular matrix of polymeric ... -
Phenotypic and Genotypic Effects of FlhC Mediated Gene Regulation in Escherichia Coli O157:H7
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Escherichia coli (E.coli) 0157:H7, a pathogen belonging to the enterohemorrhagic group of E.coli, has long been a concern to human health. The pathogen causes a myriad of symptoms in humans, ranging from diarrhea and malaise ... -
Role of ArcB/ArcA in the Regulation of Biofilm Formation in Escherichia coli in Conjunction with F1hD Expression
(North Dakota State University, 2014)The two goals of this study were to identify the affect that arcB has on biofilm formation and to determine whether this was dependent on AckA. Acetyl phosphate is formed from acetyl-CoA during acetate metabolism and is ...
