Genome sequence, antibiotic resistance genes, and plasmids in a monophasic variant of isolated from retail pork.

A isolate from retail pork was whole genome sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq6000, with a 5,320,119 bp genome and 51.06% GC content. Several antibiotic resistance genes and plasmids, including , , IncHI2, and p0111 were obtained from subsequent analysis.

Multidrug-resistant pathogens contaminate river water used in irrigation in disenfranchised communities.

Objectives: The contamination of fresh surface waters poses a significant burden on human health and prosperity, especially in marginalized communities with limited resources and inadequate infrastructure. Here, we performed in-depth genomic analyses of multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR-B) isolated from Al-Oueik river water that is used for irrigation of agricultural fields in a disenfranchised area that also hosts a makeshift Syrian refugee camp.

Methods: A composite freshwater sample was filtered.

An edible coating utilizing Malva sylvestris seed polysaccharide mucilage and postbiotic from Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii for the preservation of lamb meat.

Currently, microbial bioactive substances (postbiotics) are considered a promising tool for achieving customer demand for natural preservatives. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an edible coating developed by Malva sylvestris seed polysaccharide mucilage (MSM) and postbiotics from Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii ATCC MYA-796 (PSB) for the preservation of lamb meat.

Effect of Food Matrix and Treatment Time on the Effectiveness of Grape Seed Extract as an Antilisterial Treatment in Fresh Produce.

Listeriosis outbreaks were associated with contaminated fruits and vegetables, including cantaloupe, apples, and celery. Grape seed extract (GSE) is a natural antimicrobial with potential for reducing contamination in food. This study assessed the effectiveness of GSE to reduce on fresh produce and the impact of food matrices on its antilisterial activity.
