A National Study of Potential Cross-contamination Resulting from Kitchen Cloths |
 |
This research project will obtain a representative amount of information on the potential for bacterial contamination of kitchen cloths from domestic kitchens in the UK.
Foodborne diseases have been associated with the domestic environment. The extent to which kitchen cloths in household in the UK... |

A Novel Approach for Functional Screening of Bacterial Genome for Virulence Genes (2001-02675) |
|
The main goal of this project is to use a novel approach for screening the genome of Salmonella typhimurium for the virulence genes that are required for survival within live host animals. The investigators have devised a simple method, termed transposon footprinting, for functional screening... |

A Novel Evidence-Based Tool in Support of Food Safety Policy Development
|
|
Policy makers are increasingly dealing with complex food safety and public health issues such as BSE, antimicrobial resistance, avian influenza, food-borne and other emerging pathogens and hazards. The recently published 'Justice Haines Report' has strongly recommended the use of a science-based approach... |

A Novel Strategy to Test and Monitor Beef Feedlot Food-Safety Control Points |
|
The goal of this project is to improve food safety by developing efficient, effective methods to determine the Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella status of pens of feedlot cattle and to reduce the potential that these foodborne pathogens leave the feedlot. Pen testing will reduce time, cost, and... |

A Review of Commercial Egg Washing with Particular Emphasis on the Control of Salmonella |
|
This research project will investigate the ability of egg washing to reduce the level of salmonella present on the shell.
The objectives of the project are:
- To assess the current state of knowledge about the effectiveness of egg washing, by reviewing the published scientific, technical and...

A Salmonella enteritidis Lipopolysaccharide Vaccine for Poultry |
|
Thus, the objectives of this proposal include isolation of surface polysaccharides from S. enteritidis, conversion of these polysaccharides to an immunogenic form suitable for use as a vaccine, and evaluation of this potential vaccine with regard to prevention of infection and shedding of S. enteritidis... |

A Salmonella-based Vaccine to Prevent E. coli O157:H7 Infection in Cattle (1999-2860) |
|
Measures to significantly reduce the level of E. coli O157:H7 carriage in cattle will ensure microbiologically safer food. We will use several live, attenuated vaccine strains of Salmonella expressing important surface proteins of E. coli 0157:H7 to vaccinated calves. Vaccination of calves with Salmonella... |

A Sensitive, Accurate and Rapid Method for Detection of Food-Borne Pathogens |
|
In this proposal, the investigators seek to develop an inexpensive, sensitive, non-polymerase chain reaction assay that is simple enough to be used by food processors or regulators to screen for known food contaminants. The approach employs rolling circle amplification of pathogen targets using sequence... |

A Study of Foodborne Pathogens on Bison - Determining the Potential Risk to Man |
|
The study proposes to examine slaughtered Bison to obtain data in relation to three major foodborne pathogens of human concern: Listeria, Salmonella and Escherichia coli/ E. coli O157:H7. The incidence and spread of these pathogens during the slaughter process and conversion of the carcasses to primals... |

A Study to Examine the Egg-to-egg Variations in the Growth of Salmonella spp. in Egg Contents
|
|
This research project will investigate the growth of salmonella in eggs.
A principal objective of the proposed study is to try and correlate the growth of salmonella in egg contents with critical elements of egg chemistry and biochemistry.
To this end, a range of measurements will be undertaken... |
