Happy Beef: The Development of ß-Phenylethylamine as a Novel Nutrient Treatment Reducing Bacterial Cell Count by Escherichia Coli O157H7 on Beef Meat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Since its emergence in 1980's, Escherichia coli O157:H7 has often been associated with the consumption of contaminated meat. E. coli O157:H7 continues to persist as a food borne pathogen not only in beef but many other ...
The Effects of Acetoacetic Acis on Bacterial Growth and Biofilm Formation of Cronobacter Sakazakii, Serratia Marcescens, and Yersinia Enterocolitica
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Prevention of bacterial biofilms is an area of research currently being investigated by many research teams. The ability of a chemical to be incorporated into a material that could be used in a medical or food production ...
Assessment of Vacuum Steam Pasteurization to Improve Safety and Quality of Low Moisture Foods
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Low moisture foods such as grains, seeds, spices and flour are part of our daily diet. While they are rich in bioactive compounds, they can be minimally processed or often consumed raw. Several outbreaks due to Salmonella ...
A Porcine Circovirus Vaccine with Enhanced Capabilities
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a pathogen of swine. Vaccines against PCV2 are available, although none are capable of differentiating infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA). Positive and negative DIVA markers were ...
Characterization of a Novel Cryptosporidium Genotype in Red-Winged Black Birds
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Cryptosporidium species cause cryptosporidiosis, characterized by acute gastroenteritis in humans and animals worldwide. Knowledge of the diversity of Cryptosporidium among mammals and birds is incomplete, especially in ...
Exploration of Laboratory Techniques Relating to Cryptosporidium Parvum Propagation, Life Cycle Observation, and Host Immune Responses to Infection
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Cryptosporidium causes cryptosporidiosis, a self-limiting diarrheal disease in healthy people, but causes serious health issues for immunocompromised individuals. Cryptosporidiosis has been observed in humans since the ...
Impact of Pre-Harvest Environmental Factors on the Survival of Enterohemorrhagic E. Coli and Salmonella on Lettuce
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Enteric diseases linked to fresh produce consumption are on a rise. Pathogens can contaminate produce in the pre-harvest field and can survive for long time periods. Thus, this study quantified the survival of Enterohemorrhagic ...
Preliminary Investigation of Escherichia Coli K12 Biofilm Inhibition on an Antimicrobial Polysiloxane Coating using Whole Transcriptome Profiling
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Whole transcriptome profiling was examined in E. coli K12 when cultured on the surface of a pure polysiloxane coating (Sil) and a polysiloxane coating containing a tethered quaternary ammonium compound (QSil) shown to ...
lntraspecific Variation In Pathogenic Cryptosporidium parvum
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Cryptosporidium causes cryptosporidiosis, an infectious diarrheal disease, which
can become chronic and life-threatening in immunocompromised individuals.
Cryptosporidium parvum and C. hominis are the primary causes of ...
