Foodborne illnesses, caused by harmful microorganisms in food, are a significant global health issue. Current methods for identifying these pathogens are both labor-intensive and time-consuming. In this research, we devised a swift and precise detection technique using recombinase polymerase amplification combined with a lateral flow dipstick (RPA-LFD) for three foodborne pathogens found in meat. By employing a dedicated detection device, RPA-LFD allows for the rapid analysis of DNA from Escherichia coli O157 (E. coli O157), Salmonella, and Shigella-pathogens that are prohibited in food. The detection thresholds for E. coli O157, Salmonella, and Shigella are 0.168 fg/μl (1.04 CFU/ml), 0.72 fg/μl (27.49 CFU/ml), and 1.25 fg/μl (48.84 CFU/ml), respectively. This method provides a short detection window, operates at low temperatures, follows simple procedures, and exhibits high sensitivity. Our study establishes the RPA-LFD method for simultaneously identifying the nucleic acid of three foodborne pathogens, offering an efficient solution for quickly identifying multiple contaminants.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are usually found in food-producing animals worldwide. Ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic, can lead to antibiotic residues in food products, posing health risks to consumers and contributing to the development of antimicrobial resistance. Foodborne illnesses occur when adequate attention is not paid to food hygiene and safety, raising the potential for resistant bacteria to spread to humans through the food chain.

In this study, we assessed the effects of temperature and dilution on uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) growth in sugarcane juice and modeled the kinetics for shelf life simulation. Diluted and undiluted sugarcane juice samples inoculated with a four-strain UPEC cocktail were stored at 4, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 °C to evaluate their growth during storage. Changes in UPEC growth were fitted using three primary models (Baranyi, Huang, and reparameterized Gompertz models), and two secondary models (Huang square-root and Ratkowsky square-root models) were selected to evaluate the effect of temperature on specific growth rates.

Background: Meat is a good source of protein in the human diet, and more than three-quarters of the world's population consumes it. It is the most perishable food item since it has enough nutrients to enable microbial growth. In underdeveloped nations, animals are routinely slaughtered and sold in unsanitary conditions, compromising the bacteriological quality and safety of the meat received from the animals.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of parasitic infections in market-sold aquatic products in Shanghai Municipality, and to understand the knowledge and practice towards food-borne parasitic diseases among residents, so as to provide insights into the surveillance and control of food-borne parasitic diseases.
Methods: Freshwater products, seawater products and pickled products were randomly obtained from agricultural trade markets, supermarkets, retail stores and restaurants in Huangpu, Putuo, Minhang and Qingpu districts of Shanghai Municipality from 2020 to 2023. Parasite metacercariae and larvae were detected in these aquatic products using pressing method, digestion method and the dissection method, and the detection of parasitic infection was compared in different types of aquatic products.
