Fermentation of whey-derived matrices by : alcoholic beverage development from whey and fruit juice mixes.

This research paper addresses the hypotheses that can be cultured with good alcohol production on different whey-derived matrices, and that the fermented product can be used in order to develop alcoholic beverages with acceptable sensory characteristics by mixtures with yeast-fermented fruit-based matrices. Growth and fermentative characteristics of LFIQK1 in different whey-derived matrices were explored by culturing (24 h, 30°C) on reconstituted whey, demineralized whey, heat-treated whey and milk permeate media. High lactose consumption, ethanol production and yield were observed.

in Pigs and Dairy Cattle in Northern Italy: Prevalence, Characterization and Comparison between Animal and Human Strains.

It has been observed that novel strains of can rapidly emerge and move between animal and human hosts. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of in pigs and dairy cattle in northern Italy and to characterize and compare animal strains with those from patients from the same geographical area. The strains were isolated from animals from farms and slaughterhouses (cross-sectional studies) and from neonatal animals with enteric disorders in routine diagnostic investigations (passive surveillance).

Whole-Genome Sequence of Salmonella enterica Serovar Bispebjerg from Turkey Reveals Its Pathogenic Potential.

We report the genome sequence of a Salmonella enterica subsp. serovar Bispebjerg strain that was isolated from a turkey flock in 2011. The genome analysis of the strain, a rare and multihost serovar, revealed its pathogenic potential due to antimicrobial resistance and a plethora of Salmonella pathogenicity islands and virulence factors.

Bloody Diarrhea and Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in Children: Data from the ItalKid-HUS Network.

Objective: To analyze the results of an enhanced laboratory-surveillance protocol for bloody diarrhea aimed at identifying children with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infection early in the course of the disease toward the early identification and management of patients with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

Study Design: The study (2010-2019) involved a referral population of 2.3 million children.

An unusual neurological manifestation of granulomatosis with polyangiitis: A case report and literature review.

Ischemic stroke is an incredibly rare manifestation of granulomatosis with polyangiitis. It is important for the clinician to be aware of this unusual complication so that efforts can be made to reduce the risk of this event.
