rapid high-throughput assessment of aerobic bacteria in complex samples by fluorescence-based oxygen respirometry.	a simple method has been developed for the analysis of aerobic bacteria in complex samples such as broth and food homogenates. it employs commercial phosphorescent oxygen-sensitive probes to monitor oxygen consumption of samples containing bacteria using standard microtiter plates and fluorescence plate readers. as bacteria grow in aqueous medium, at certain points they begin to deplete dissolved oxygen, which is seen as an increase in probe fluorescence above baseline signal. the time required ...	2006	16461677
comparison of pathogenic and spoilage bacterial levels on refrigerated poultry parts following treatment with trisodium phosphate.	this study was undertaken to determine whether trisodium phosphate decontamination of poultry could give a competitive advantage to pathogens and increase microbiological risk to consumers. chicken legs were co-inoculated with similar concentrations of pathogenic (salmonella enteritidis or listeria monocytogenes) and spoilage (pseudomonas fluorescens or brochothrix thermosphacta) bacteria. samples were dipped in tsp (12%, 15 min) or were non-treated (control). microbiological analyses were carri ...	2006	16943004
occurrence of proteolytic activity and n-acyl-homoserine lactone signals in the spoilage of aerobically chill-stored proteinaceous raw foods.	proteolytic pseudomonads dominate the spoilage flora of aerobically chill-stored proteinaceous raw foods. proteolysis during spoilage of these food systems affects both food quality and the dynamics of the bacterial community because it increases the availability of nutrients to the community as a whole. quorum sensing, or cell-cell signaling, is associated closely with ecological interactions among bacteria in mixed communities. the potential role of quorum sensing in proteolytic food spoilage ...	2006	17133818
the effect of an acidic, copper sulfate-based commercial sanitizer on indicator, pathogenic, and spoilage bacteria associated with broiler chicken carcasses when applied at various intervention points during poultry processing.	studies were conducted to evaluate 1) the effect of an acidic, copper sulfate-based commercial sanitizer on pathogenic, indicator, and spoilage bacteria in a model scalder system, 2) the effect of this sanitizer on total aerobic bacteria (apc) and escherichia coli counts, and salmonella prevalence on broiler chicken carcasses when applied during scalding or scalding and postpick dipping, and 3) the ability of sanitizer to extend the shelf-life of broiler chicken carcasses. exposure of salmonella ...	2008	18577627
evidence for a role of biosurfactants produced by pseudomonas fluorescens in the spoilage of fresh aerobically stored chicken meat.	fresh chicken meat is a fat-rich environment and we therefore hypothesised that production of biosurfactants to increase bioavailability of fats may represent one way in which spoilage bacteria might enhance the availability of nutrients. numbers of pseudomonas were determined on a total of 20 fresh and 20 spoiled chicken thighs with skin. a total of 400 randomly isolated pseudomonas colonies from fresh (200) and spoiled (200) chicken were screened for the presence of biosurfactant production. b ...	2011	21569958
behaviour of co-inoculated pathogenic and spoilage bacteria on poultry following several decontamination treatments.	the potential of chemical decontaminants to cause harmful effects on human health is among the causes of the rejection of antimicrobial treatments for removing surface contamination from poultry carcasses in the european union. this study was undertaken to determine whether decontaminants might give a competitive advantage to pathogenic bacteria on poultry and involve a potential risk to consumer. a total of 144 chicken legs were co-inoculated with similar concentrations of pathogenic bacteria ( ...	2012	23072701
binding sites of mosquitocidal toxins of pseudomonas fluorescens and bacillus subtilis on pupae and larvae of culex quinquefasciatus.	two of the potential bacterial isolates, viz., pseudomonas fluorescens (vcrc b-426) and bacillus subtilis (vcrc b-471) whose toxins kill the mosquito pupae/larvae have been identified at our center. as the mode of action of these bacteria are not known, an attempt was made to find out the binding sites of the toxic proteins through immunological methods. antibodies were raised in balb/c mice and egg yolk system of chicken layers against the mosquitocidal proteins. the antibodies showed specific ...	2015	24624898
