Frequency of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPRs) in non-clinical Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium strains

Braz. j. biol; 79 (3), 2019
Abstract The fidelity of the genomes is defended by mechanism known as Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) systems. Three Type II CRISPR systems (CRISPR1- cas, CRISPR2 and CRISPR3-cas) have been identified in enterococci isolates from clinical and environmental samples. Th...

Enterotoxin-encoding genes in Staphylococcus aureus from buffalo milk

Pesqui. vet. bras; 39 (8), 2019
This paper investigated the occurrence of Staphylococcus aureus and the detection of enterotoxin-encoding genes of these strains in milk collected from 30 Murrah buffaloes used to produce dairy products in Brazil. A total of 68 strains of Staphylococcus aureus were found as identified by conventional lab...

Effect of thymol and environmental factors on growth and biofilm formation by Listeria monocytogenes

Thymol (2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol) is an aromatic monoterpene found in essential oils extracted from plants belonging to the Lamiaceae family, such as Thymus, Ocimum, Origanum, Satureja, Thymbra and Monarda genera. Growth and biofilm formation by Listeria monocytogenes CLIP 74902 were evaluate using thr...

Molecular identification and microbiological evaluation of isolates from equipments and food contact surfaces in a hospital Food and Nutrition Unit

Braz. j. biol; 79 (2), 2019
Abstract The hygienic and sanitary control in Food and Nutrition Units (FNU) is considered a standard procedure to produce adequate meals and reduce the risk of foodborne diseases and hospital infections. This study aimed to evaluate the isolation and identification of bacteria from equipment and food c...

Rev. Salusvita (Online); 38 (2), 2019
Introdução: o queijo tipo Minas Frescal, obtido através da coagulação do leite, é amplamente consumido no Brasil, e apresenta um alto teor de umidade, sendo um ótimo meio para crescimento microbiano. Por isso, para sua produção, é necessária a pasteurização do leite cru, além de boas técni...

Selection of starter cultures for the production of sour cassava starch in a pilot-scale fermentation process

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Sour cassava starch (Polvilho azedo) is obtained from a spontaneous fermentation conducted by microorganisms from raw materials and fermentation tanks. This product is traditionally used in the baking industry for the manufacture of biscuits and Brazilian cheese breads. However, the end of ferme...

Application of Quercus infectoria extract as a natural antimicrobial agent for chicken egg decontamination

Rev. argent. microbiol; 50 (4), 2018
Egg contamination with microbial pathogens is an enduring worldwide concern. Natural products are frequently recommended as ideal alternatives to substitute synthetic and chemical antimicrobials. Oak galls (Quercus infectoria) are aberrant growths on oak trees that have many medicinal and pharmaceutical ...

Survey of Salmonella spp. in beef meat for export at slaughterhouses in Brazil

Pesqui. vet. bras; 38 (11), 2018
The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of Salmonella spp. in samples collected from beef meat at three points of the slaughter line (after skinning, washing and cooling) at three slaughterhouses in Brazil that export meat. Detection was based on ISO 6579:2002 and confirmed by PCR an...
