Black-carrot drink şalgam as a habitat for spoilage yeasts.

Şalgam is a traditional drink produced via the lactic-acid fermentation of vegetables (black carrot and turnip), sourdough, and bulgur flour; with rock salt also added. During storage, an additional yeast-mediated fermentation can occur, causing changes in organoleptic properties, as evidenced by the microbe-mediated release of gases. Here, we characterise şalgam as a microbial habitat, identify the yeasts that cause spoilage, and characterise yeast-induced changes of the şalgam.

Genomic analysis of Salmonella bacteriophages revealed multiple endolysin ORFs and importance of ligand-binding site of receptor-binding protein.

Salmonella is a prevalent foodborne pathogen causing millions of global cases annually. Antimicrobial resistance is a growing public health concern, leading to search for alternatives like bacteriophages. A total of 97 bacteriophages, isolated from cattle farms (n = 48), poultry farms (n = 37), and wastewater (n = 5) samples in Türkiye, were subjected to host-range analysis using 36 Salmonella isolates with 18 different serotypes.

[Resorptions and orthodontics].

Introduction: It's generally accepted that one of the risks associated with orthodontic treatment is apical root resorption, even though this may occur outside orthodontic treatment. In any case, it causes root shortening. Orthodontists are probably the only dental surgeons who use the inflammatory process as a therapeutic tool.

Layer-by-layer assembly of chitosan/alginate thin films containing Salmonella enterica bacteriophages for antibacterial applications.

The emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria and the ineffectiveness of routine treatments inspired development of alternatives to biocides for antibacterial applications. Bacteriophages are natural predators of bacteria and are promising alternatives to antibiotics. This study presents fabrication of a Salmonella enterica bacteriophage containing ultra-thin multilayer film composed of chitosan and alginate and demonstrates its potential as an antibacterial coating for food packaging applications.
