meat from dairy cows: possible microbiological hazards and risks.	the authors provide an overview of the circumstances associated with culling of dairy cattle in the united states of america (usa) and focus on the possible significant microbiological hazards associated with meat from cull dairy cows. cull dairy cows are an important source of food in the usa, accounting for at least approximately 17% of ground beef. the potential microbiological hazards for foodborne illness from cull dairy cows discussed here include salmonella (with special attention to s. t ...	1997	9501354
occurrence of bacillus sporothermodurans and other aerobic spore-forming species in feed concentrate for dairy cattle.	to determine the aerobic spore composition and presence of bacillus sporothermodurans spores in feed concentrate for dairy cattle.	2001	11851816
bacillus cereus spores during housing of dairy cows: factors affecting contamination of raw milk.	the contamination of raw milk with bacillus cereus spores was studied during the indoor confinement of dairy cattle. the occurrence of spores in fresh and used bedding material, air samples, feed, feces, and the rinse water from milking equipment was compared with the spore level in bulk tank milk on 2 farms, one of which had 2 different housing systems. a less extensive study was carried out on an additional 5 farms. high spore concentrations of >100 spores/l in the raw milk were found on 4 of ...	2007	17517714
bacillus cereus in free-stall bedding.	to increase the understanding of how different factors affect the bacterial growth in deep sawdust beds for dairy cattle, the microbiological status of bacillus cereus and coliforms in deep sawdust-bedded free stalls was investigated over two 14-d periods on one farm. high counts of b. cereus and coliforms were found in the entire beds. on average, 4.1 log(10) b. cereus spores, 5.5 log(10) b. cereus, and 6.7 log(10) coliforms per gram of bedding could be found in the upper layers of the sawdust ...	2007	18024738
bacillus anthracis: molecular taxonomy, population genetics, phylogeny and patho-evolution.	bacillus anthracis, the etiological agent of anthrax, manifests a particular bimodal lifestyle. this bacterial species alternates between short replication phases of 20-40 generations that strictly require infection of the host, normally causing death, interrupted by relatively long, mostly dormant phases as spores in the environment. hence, the b. anthracis genome is highly homogeneous. this feature and the fact that strains from nearly all parts of the world have been analysed for canonical si ...	2011	21640849
milk microbiome signatures of subclinical mastitis-affected cattle analysed by shotgun sequencing.	metagenomic analysis of milk samples collected from kankrej, gir (bos indicus) and crossbred (bos taurus × b. indicus) cattle harbouring subclinical mastitis was carried out by next-generation sequencing 454 gs-flx technology to elucidate the microbial community structure of cattle milk.	2012	22277077
