Gas production by Paucilactobacillus wasatchensis WDCO4 is increased in Cheddar cheese containing sodium gluconate.

Paucilactobacillus wasatchensis can use gluconate (GLCN) as well as galactose as an energy source and because sodium GLCN can be added during salting of Cheddar cheese to reduce calcium lactate crystal formation, our primary objective was to determine if the presence of GLCN in cheese is another risk factor for unwanted gas production leading to slits in cheese. A secondary objective was to calculate the amount of CO produced during storage and to relate this to the amount of gas-forming substrate that was utilized. Ribose was added to promote growth of Pa.

Gluconate metabolism and gas production by Paucilactobacillus wasatchensis WDC04.

Paucilactobacillus wasatchensis, a nonstarter lactic acid bacteria, can cause late gas production and splits and cracks in aging cheese when it metabolizes 6-carbon substrates, particularly galactose, to a 5-carbon sugar, resulting in the release of CO. Previous studies have not explained late gas production in aging cheese when no galactose is present. Based on the genome sequence of Pa.

Practice-derived data on non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant therapy to complement observations from randomized trials.

Anticoagulation is fundamental in the management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The study aims to provide a comparative review of the major phase III randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and real-world data (RWD) from reliable, high-grade Phase IV studies that assess the efficacy and safety of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) vs. vitamin K antagonists (VKAs).

Compliance of atrial fibrillation treatment with the ABC pathway in patients with concomitant diabetes mellitus in the Middle East based on the Gulf SAFE registry.

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and diabetes mellitus (DM) constitute a heavy burden on healthcare expenditure due to their negative impact on clinical outcomes in the Middle East. The Atrial fibrillation Better Care (ABC) pathway provides a simple strategy of integrated approach of AF management: A-Avoid stroke; B-Better symptom control; C-Cardiovascular comorbidity risk management.

Aims: Evaluation of the AF treatment compliance to ABC pathway in DM patients in the Middle East.

Growth and survival characteristics of Paucilactobacillus wasatchensis WDCO4.

Understanding characteristics that permit survival and growth of Paucilactobacillus wasatchensis as part of the nonstarter microbiota of cheese is important for minimizing unwanted gas formation in cheese that can cause downgrading because of slits and cracks. The ability of Plb. wasatchensis WDC04 to survive pasteurization was studied by inoculating raw milk with 10 cfu/mL and measuring survival after processing through a high-temperature, short-time pasteurizer.
