This article presents a dataset on bacterial community structure associated with Ready-to-eat (RTE) vegetable salads sold in Kampala City, Uganda. The Illumina Miseq sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicon unveiled the bacterial communities and generated a metagenomic library from RTE vegetable salads to understand the diversities and distribution. The metagenome contained a total of 23,805 sequences with 35,420 Taxonomic units (OTUs). Metagenome sequence information is obtainable at NCBI under the Bioproject assigned accession number PRJNA1064313. Taxonomic hits distribution from VSEARCH analysis at phylum level classification of NN-3 discovered predominantly Proteobacteria (65.34%) followed by Firmicutes (31.60%) and Bacteroidota (0.14%). Deinococcota (0.01%) and Planctomycetota (0.01%) were also detected. Also, VSEARCH-assisted analysis of NN-4 detected a higher prevalence of Firmicutes (65.68%) than Proteobacteria (33.25%), while Bacteroidota (0.04%) indicating the presence of contaminants of faecal sources.

Children's dietary quality is suboptimal, increasing the risk of numerous chronic illnesses. Salad bars (SBs) have potential to enhance children's nutritional intake within the National School Lunch Program (NSLP); yet, empirical support is lacking. To address this gap, we evaluated the impact of school salad bars on dietary quality and energy intake at lunch.

Enteric fever is a significant health problem in developing countries caused by serovars Typhi and Paratyphi. Unfortunately, the burden of the disease remains high not only because of the complications related to the disease but also, especially, because of the spread of the strains of resistant to antibiotics. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antibiotic resistance patterns of Typhi and Paratyphi clinical isolates as well as the risk factors associated with infection.

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated how sample moisture, extrusion temperature, and screw speed affect the hydration properties of corn gluten meal (CG) and aimed to find optimal conditions for protein solubility and water absorption capacity.
  • The best results for reducing water absorption and increasing protein solubility were achieved with specific conditions: 20% moisture, 120°C temperature, and a screw speed of 117 rpm.
  • After optimizing extrusion, CG showed structural changes leading to darker color, improved emulsifying capacity, and decreased foaming capacity, suggesting its potential use in various food products like bakery items and dressings.
