Escherichia coli is among the most prevalent food contaminant microorganisms that have
evolved, generating variants based on their effects on the host; these include commensals …

Escherichia coli O157: H7 is a representative foodborne pathogen that causes
haemorrhagic colitis, bloody diarrhea, and fatal haemolytic uraemic syndrome. Previously …

The widespread use of chlorine disinfectants in drinking water has accelerated the selection
of chlorine-resistant bacteria (CRB). The presence of CRB in drinking water (during …

The aim of this study was to synthesize carbon quantum dot (CQD) exhibiting visible-light-
driven (VLD) antimicrobial activity using spent coffee ground (SCG) as biomass. SCG was …

Low-pressure mercury lamps emitting at 254 nm (UV254) are used widely for disinfection.
However, subsequent exposure to visible light results in photoreactivation of treated …

As an emerging electrolyzed water (EW) technology, tap water-based neutral electrolyzed
water (TNEW) is an attractive alternative to other types of conventional EW for sterilization of …

Traditional solar water disinfection has low efficiency. Solar-to-heat converting
nanomaterials enable the synergy of solar radiation and heat to kill water-borne bacteria …

Abstract Ultraviolet C (UV-C, 200–280 nm) light has germicidal properties that inactivate a
wide range of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms. UV-C has been extensively studied …

The risk of cross-contamination during manufacturing of low water activity foods requires
careful attention to cleaning and sanitation. Considering the challenges encountered in such …

Control of pathogenic bacteria using natural plant extracts has potential in preventing the
