Article Synopsis
- - Filamentous fungi pose a significant risk to food safety by causing food losses and producing harmful mycotoxins, making their rapid identification essential.
- - This study explored the effectiveness of MALDI-TOF, a rapid identification tool, in distinguishing Aspergillus section Flavi species and differentiating Penicillium roqueforti isolates from three genetic populations.
- - The results showed that MALDI-TOF provided high accuracy in identifying fungal species, with over 99% correct attribution for Aspergillus and 94-95% for P. roqueforti, indicating its potential as a reliable alternative to traditional molecular methods.
Brucella are highly infectious bacterial pathogens responsible for a severely debilitating zoonosis called brucellosis. Half of the human population worldwide is considered to live at risk of exposure, mostly in the poorest rural areas of the world. Prompt diagnosis of brucellosis is essential to prevent complications and to control epidemiology outbreaks, but identification of Brucella isolates may be hampered by the lack of rapid and cost-effective methods.
