Article Synopsis
- Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) causes over 250,000 foodborne infections annually in the U.S., and current treatment mainly involves supportive care due to risks associated with antibiotics.
- Bacteriophages, which are viruses that infect bacteria, are being explored as a potential solution for controlling EHEC in food processing due to their ability to target bacteria without promoting antibiotic resistance.
- The review discusses the characteristics of over 130 bacteriophages that can infect EHEC, emphasizing their importance in preventing infections and encouraging further research and regulatory measures for their use in both food safety and medicine against drug-resistant strains.
The aim of presented study was to test nutritional properties of potato tubers and silver ions accumulation pattern after foliar application of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) during potato vegetation. Potato plants were sprayed with different concentration of Ag nanoparticles (0.1, 1.

The first microRNA-size functional ribonucleic acid occurring in a bacterial cell has been described only recently, and it was found to be encoded by a bacteriophage. One of the reasons for such a scarcity in this field is the lack of procedures intended for the isolation and selection of molecules of this size from bacterial cells.

Methods: The study was based on immunohistochemical analysis of NPY and its receptors, Y1R, Y2R and Y5R, in tissue samples from benign prostate (BP), primary prostate cancer (PCa) and PCa bone metastases.
Tomato ( L.) is a vegetable frequently exposed to hypoxia stress induced either by being submerged, flooded or provided with limited oxygen in hydroponic cultivation systems. The purpose of the study was to establish the metabolic mechanisms responsible for overcoming hypoxia in two tomato accessions with different tolerance to this stress, selected based on morphological and physiological parameters.
