  • - In 2016, an outbreak of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections linked to contaminated flour led to an investigation that identified 56 cases across 24 states.
  • - The study showed a significant association between the outbreak and a specific brand of flour, as well as the consumption of unbaked dough, with high odds ratios indicating a strong link.
  • - Laboratory tests confirmed the presence of outbreak strains in flour samples, and whole-genome sequencing connected the clinical and food samples to a single flour production facility, highlighting the risk of raw flour as a source of foodborne illness.

Bursal anti-steroidogenic peptide (BASP), purified from the chicken bursa of Fabricius (BF), has been previously demonstrated to be a potent and efficacious inhibitor of steroid hormone biosynthesis from chicken ovarian, and both mammalian and avian adrenal cells in vitro. Other studies have demonstrated that BASP can markedly reduce avian and mammalian mitogen-stimulated lymphocyte proliferation. Recent studies have indicated that BASP has a structural and functional relationship with histone H1.
