... Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) is an important foodborne pathogen, which is frequently associated with seafood consumption and commonly causes gastroenteritis. The biofilm formed by V. parahaemolyticus in the food production chain poses a continuous threat to food safety, therefore effective antibiofilm strategy is in urgent need. Sodium butyrate is widely used in food, feed, cosmet ...
... The effects of high pressure processing (HPP) at 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 MPa for 3 min on physicochemical quality and inactivation of microbial loads of Asian hard clam (Meretrix lusoria) were evaluated. In addition, the retardation effects in microbial growth and quality loss of pressurized hard clams stored at 4 °C were investigated. Results showed that the expanding rate, moisture content, ...
... Over 1 billion people rely on seafood as their primary source of protein and Vibrio spp. is the most important pathogen of foodborne disease outbreak related to consumption of seafood. Moreover, the rise of drug-resistant Vibrio strains further increases the difficulty of clinical treatment. However, there is no food preservative available to combat drug-resistant Vibrio spp. in seafood. In this s ...
... Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a major food-borne pathogen and the leading cause of seafood-associated enteric infections worldwide. In addition, imprudent use of antibiotics has contributed to increasing antibiotic resistance in V. parahaemolyticus. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel control strategies to reduce V. parahaemolyticus contamination and infection. V. parahaemolyticus cou ...
... The emergence of extensive and pandrug resistant Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which is recognized as the leading cause of seafood borne gastroenteritis globally, necessitates the urgent development of novel therapeutic strategies and antibacterial drugs. This study aims to investigate the effects of citral on the growth and virulence properties of V. parahaemolyticus RIMD2210633. Citral displayed good ...
... Bacteria frequently coexist in complex mixed-species biofilms, and the interspecies interactions highly determine their structure and sensitivity to external stress. Using a dual-species biofilms formed by the pathogen V. parahaemolyticus and spoilage S. putrefaciens, this study characterized the dynamic formation process, spatial structure arrangement, cell viability and EPS components of the bio ...
... Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a biofilm-producing seafood-borne pathogen that causes gastrointestinal disease in humans. Therefore, our study aimed to assess the elimination effects (alone or in combination) of ultraviolet C (UV–C; 5–60 mW × s/cm²) irradiation, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl; 50–300 ppm), and slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW; 1–15 min) on V. parahaemolyticus biofilms on crab and ...
... A nanoemulsion approach to enhance antimicrobial performance of cinnamon essential oil as a natural preservative for the real food system was studied. The antimicrobial activity of cinnamon essential oil nanoemulsion (1429 and 11429 mg/L), in comparison to bulk cinnamon oil (488 and 11429 mg/L) and food industrial used sanitizer, sodium hypochlorite (10 mg/L), was investigated against refrigerated ...
... Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a foodborne pathogen and naturally resistant to polymyxins, the last line of therapy for infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. Polymyxins resistance is typically facilitated by the modification of phosphoethanolamine group on the lipid A of lipopolysaccharide in Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, we found that VP_RS21300 encodes a phosphoethanolamine tra ...
... Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with probiotic potential have become highly sought-after by global consumers due to their wide applicability. Here, two LAB strains (J.27 and M.21) were isolated from a traditional Korean fermented vegetable (kimchi) and identified via 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. Afterward, the two LAB isolates were evaluated for their antibiofilm activity against three foodborne pa ...
... This study aimed to develop an antimicrobial active packaging using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) or collagen (COL) as carriers of cinnamaldehyde (CNMA) coating on plasma-treated low density polyethylene (LDPE) for application on tilapia fillet packaging. COL carriers exhibited stronger antimicrobial and antioxidant activities than no carrier and CMC. The films also showed good physical and mechan ...
... This study sought to investigate the effects of environmental parameters on the variation of V. parahaemolyticus in the oyster culture environment in Taiwan. Environmental factors were used to develop predictive models for V. parahaemolyticus concentration in oysters, seawater, and sediment by employing the extreme gradient boosting (XGB) machine learning algorithms. The results showed that XGB ca ...
... This study investigated the effect of 5–20 min low-temperature pasteurization at 50 °C on Akoya oyster's physicochemical including moisture, texture, colour, pH, total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N) and microbiological quality in terms of total viable count (TVC), tests for Escherichia coli (E. coli), Vibrio spp. and Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) 14 days post-treatment. Oysters wer ...
... The study's objective was to evaluate the performance of the food safety management system (FSMS) in relation to the microbiological food safety (FS) output of Salmon Nigiri Sushi in the selected outlets of a Japanese chain restaurant. Two outlets that are FSMS certified with ISO 22000 and two outlets that are FSMS not certified with ISO 22000 were selected. Microbiological Assessment Scheme was u ...
... Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a marine food-borne pathogen, has been proved to be a significant cause of human gastrointestinal disorders worldwide. In this study, a method of multiplex droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) based on primer and probe sequences of the tlh, tdh and ureR genes were developed and evaluated for the reliable quantification of V. parahaemolyticus cells in seafoods. The specificities of ...
... Extracellular DNA (eDNA) is considered as important determinant in bacterial biofilm formation. This study investigated the effects of DNase I and acidic electrolytic water (AEW) in beaking down mature Vibrio parahaemolyticus biofilms. Changes of key chemical components i.e. eDNA, extracellular proteins, extracellular polysaccharides, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), and biofilm architect ...
... Coenzyme Q0 (CoQ0) demonstrates antineoplastic and anti-inflammatory properties; however, its antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities against Vibrio parahaemolyticus have not been extensively examined. Thus, the aim of the current study was to investigate the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities, along with the underlying mechanism, of CoQ0 against V. parahaemolyticus. The minimum inhibitory ...
