Motivation: L. monocytogenes is known to persist in food processing environments, with some strains being routinely isolated (persistent), while others are only occasionally found (sporadic). This raises the question: Are persistent strains more resistant to stress conditions compared to sporadic strains from similar sources? Objective: To investigate the effect of food processing related stresses (pH=6 and 8% ...
Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous Gram-positive pathogen that is particularly harmful to immunocompromised individuals. In food processing environments (FPEs), certain strains of L. monocytogenes are routinely isolated, while others are only encountered sporadically. One possible explanation for this recurrent isolation correlates with the presence of heterogeneous subpopulations, some of which can withsta...
Poultry meat, due to its low price and nutritional value, is a healthy and easily accessible option for many households worldwide. Poultry consumption is, therefore, expected to continue to grow. However, this increase may lead to the rising numbers of cases of bacterial gastroenteritis, as poultry meat often carries foodborne pathogens such as Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp. While the current on-farm bi...
Objetivo: o objetivo deste estudo é analisar respostas eletromiográficas dos músculos da coxa expostos a diferentes frequências vibratórias para verificar a hipótese de diferentes frequências vibratórias determinarem diferentes respostas neuromusculares. Metodologia: oito participantes do sexo masculino foram expostos à vibração usando uma plataforma vibratória síncrona sendo expostos aleatoriamente a duas vibr...
