Genetic Diversity and Potential Virulence of Isolates Originating from Polish Artisanal Cheeses.

Artisanal cheeses can be sources of and cause disease in humans. This bacterial pathogen is a species of diverse genotypic and phenotypic characteristics. The aim of the study was to characterize 32 isolates of isolated in 2014-2018 from artisanal cheeses.

Occurrence of in Artisanal Cheeses from Poland and Its Identification by MALDI-TOF MS.

is a foodborne pathogen. A source of infection can be artisanal cheeses. Identification of the species is important for the protection of public health and the food industry.

Effect of Soybean Meal Substitution by Raw Chickpea Seeds on Thermal Properties and Fatty Acid Composition of Subcutaneous Fat Tissue of Broiler Chickens.

In this study, the effect of soybean meal substitution by raw chickpea seeds on the thermal properties and fatty acid profile of subcutaneous fat tissue of broiler chickens was examined. The experiment, performed on Ross 308 chickens, lasted for 42 days. Tight subcutaneous fat tissue was analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements while the fatty acid composition of subcutaneous adipose tissue was determined chromatographically.

Fatty Acid Profile in Fat Obtained from Edible Part of Land Snails Harvested in Poland.

Introduction: The objective was to determine the content of fatty acids in edible snail fat by snail species, collection site, and processing stage.

Material And Methods: The research material comprised 180 edible fat samples from the three genera of edible snails collected in Poland: free-living (HP) and two cultivated subspecies: (CAM) and (CAA). All snails came from the Greater Poland and Lower Silesian Provinces: HP from their natural habitat and CAM and CAA from heliciculture farms.

Microbiological Quality of Farmed Grass Carp, Bighead Carp, Siberian Sturgeon, and Wels Catfish from Eastern Poland.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the microbiological quality of food fish and its safety for consumers.

Material And Methods: The study included 24 fish representing grass carp, bighead carp, Siberian sturgeon, and wels catfish. Specimens were collected in winter.

Selenium, Copper, and Zinc Concentrations in the Raw and Processed Meat of Edible Land Snails Harvested in Poland.

Introduction: The objective of the present research was to carry out a comparative assessment of copper, zinc, and selenium concentrations in the meat of edible land snails collected in Poland (, and ), as well as to determine the effect of preliminary processing of Roman snails () on the content of the aforementioned elements.

Material And Methods: In the first stage, determinations were made on unprocessed snail meat. In the second stage, the study focused on Roman snails and consisted in an additional evaluation of frozen meat after full processing.

Occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in slaughter rabbits.

The aim of the study was to determine the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in slaughter rabbits managed in small scale farms and under industrial farming system. The research material included intestines and livers of rabbits slaughtered between years 2007 and 2011. The rabbit carcasses submitted to parasitological examination had passed the sanitary veterinary inspection as fit for human consumption.
