Salmonella species can infect a diverse range of birds, reptiles, and mammals, including
humans. The type III protein secretion system (T3SS) encoded by Salmonella pathogenicity …

Large, renowned outbreaks associated with low-moisture foods (LMFs) bring to light some of
the potential, inherent risks that accompany foods with long shelf lives if pathogen …

The loss of cellular water (desiccation) and the resulting low cytosolic water activity are
major stress factors for life. Numerous prokaryotic and eukaryotic taxa have evolved …

The species Salmonella enterica comprises over 2,600 serovars, many of which are known
to be intracellular pathogens of mammals, birds, and reptiles. It is now apparent that …

The success of Salmonella as a foodborne pathogen can probably be attributed to two major
features: its remarkable genetic diversity and its extraordinary ability to adapt. Salmonella …

Salmonella and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) are of serious concern in wheat
flour and its related products but little is known on their survival and thermal death kinetics …

Wheat flour has been associated with outbreaks of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli
(EHEC), but little is known on EHEC's survival during storage and thermal processing. The …

Abstract Background Type Three Secretion Systems (T3SS) are nanomachine complexes,
which display the ability to inject effector proteins directly into host cells. This skill allows for …

Unsuccessful vaccination against Salmonella due to a large number of serovars, and
antibiotic resistance, necessitates the development of novel therapeutics to treat …

Factors that control pathogen survival in low water activity foods are not well understood and
vary greatly from food to food. A literature search was performed to locate data on the …
