(MDPI, 2024-06-20)
Listeria monocytogenes, the causative agent of listeriosis, is a relevant pathogen in dry fermented
sausages (DFSs), and the application of antilisterial starter cultures is an effective intervention
strategy ...
Update of the list of QPS-recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 13: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2020
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-01-28)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach was developed to provide a regularly updated generic pre-evaluation of the safety of biological agents, intended for addition to food or feed, to support ...
Swine farm environmental microbiome: exploring microbial ecology and functionality across farms with high and low sanitary status
(Frontiers Media, 2024-07-03)
Stringent regulations in pig farming, such as antibiotic control and the ban on certain additives and disinfectants, complicate disease control efforts. Despite the evolution of microbial communities ...
Recent Smell Loss Is the Best Predictor of COVID-19 Among Individuals With Recent Respiratory Symptoms
(Oxford University Press, 2020-12-25)
