Prevalence of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Differently Processed Smoothies and Fresh Produce from Austria.
Foods
December 2024
Division of Data, Statistics and Risk Assessment, Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety AGES, 1220 Vienna, Austria.
Plant-derived foods are potential vehicles for microbial antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which can be transferred to the human microbiome if consumed raw or minimally processed. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and the amount of clinically relevant ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in differently processed smoothies (freshly prepared, cold-pressed, pasteurized and high-pressure processed) and fresh produce samples (organically and conventionally cultivated) to assess potential health hazards associated with their consumption. The MGE and the class 1 integron-integrase gene were detected by probe-based qPCR in concentrations up to 10 copies/mL in all smoothies, lettuce, carrots and a single tomato sample.

DUX4 is typically a repressed transcription factor, but its aberrant activation in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) leads to cell death by disrupting muscle homeostasis. This disruption affects crucial processes such as myogenesis, sarcolemma integrity, gene regulation, oxidative stress, immune response, and many other biological pathways. Notably, these disrupted processes have been associated, in other pathological contexts, with the presence of connexin (Cx) hemichannels-transmembrane structures that mediate communication between the intracellular and extracellular environments.

L. (Aizoaceae), commonly known as desert horse purslane or black pigweed, is a C4 dicot succulent invasive annual plant that is widespread in agricultural fields in Southeast Asia, tropical America, Africa, and Australia. In Israel, is an invasive weed of increasing importance in agricultural fields, including mainly corn, tomato, alfalfa watermelon, and groundnut crops.

Department of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences, University of Turin, Largo P. Braccini 2, 10095 Grugliasco, TO, Italy.
The blackberry poses a threat as an invasive plant in various regions worldwide, where it aggressively competes with native species and risks delicate ecosystems. Livestock grazing has emerged as a potential strategy to mitigate its spread. This study investigated the effects of seasonal variations and altitude on the chemical composition and in vitro degradability of blackberry leaves.
