Abstract:: ... Pathogenicity of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) strains depends on various virulence factors, like adhesins (including intimin), flagella, type I fimbriae, curli fibers, hemolysins, and agents required for biofilm formation. However, the pathogenicity is highly enhanced by production of Shiga toxins which are encoded by stx genes located in genomes of Shiga toxin-converting (Stx) propha ...

Subject:: Sander lucioperca; fillets; freshwater lakes; muscles; nitrates; nitrites; raw fish; recirculating aquaculture systems; Germany
Abstract:: ... The study was undertaken to present preliminary results of the nitrate and nitrite content in the muscle flesh of pike-perch marketed in Germany. Frozen fillet products of different origin, fresh fish from an inland freshwater lake and from intensive warm water aquaculture in a recirculation aquaculture system (RAS) were analyzed. Despite relatively elevated levels of 31.9 mg nitrate/kg in pike-pe ...

Abstract:: ... Hazard Analysis Control Critical Points (HACCP) is compulsory for all food business operators (FBO) in European Union, in order to guarantee food safety. Since small- and medium-sized FBO had less resources than large-sized FBO, the HACCP implementation is usually carried out by the owner or staff, mainly using online information from guidelines of national agencies responsible for food safety ins ...

Subject:: European Union; genetically modified organisms; site-directed mutagenesis
Abstract:: ... The European Directive 2001/18/EC regulates the deliberate release of genetically modified organisms (GMO). Mutagenesis is excluded from the scope of the directive under Art. 3 and Annex I B. Does this exception only apply to products of chemical and radiation-induced mutagenesis or to new biotechnological methods of site-directed mutagenesis as well? In our opinion, organisms obtained by mutagene ...

Subject:: databases; fabrics; pesticides; plant protection; protective clothing; statistical analysis; Europe
Abstract:: ... An ISO performance standard dedicated to protective clothing for operators handling plant protection products was published in 2011. The standard requires measuring penetration through fabrics with a test chemical representative of plant protection product with the highest penetration. In Europe, the EC Regulation No 1107/2009 requires data to substantiate that the protective clothing specified on ...
