- Campylobacter is the leading cause of food-borne illness in Canada, commonly linked to raw or undercooked poultry.
- A study analyzed 480 packages of raw poultry and 354 human clinical samples in Nova Scotia, finding that 65% of the poultry tested positive for Campylobacter, primarily C. jejuni.
- The research revealed a connection between the subtypes found in chicken and those causing human infections, indicating raw poultry can be a significant source of Campylobacter related to human illness in the region.
To improve survival during exposure to adverse conditions, probiotic Bifidobacterium adolescentis 15703T cells were encapsulated in novel mono-core and multi-core phase-separated gelatine-maltodextrin (GMD) microspheres where the gelatine (G) phase was cross-linked with genipin (GP). Microscopy showed that encapsulated cells were exclusively associated with maltodextrin (MD) core(s). Small (average diameter 37 microm) and large (70 microm) GMD and G microspheres were produced by modulating factors (e.
