Emergence of Bacillus Cereus as a dominant organism in Irish retailed powdered infant formulae (PIF) when reconstituted and stored under abuse conditions
(Wiley, 2010-05-25)
One hundred powdered infant formulae (PIF), representative of the 10
leading brands available in Ireland, were subjected to a variety of preparation
and storage conditions. All PIF analyzed immediately after reconstitution
were ...
Occurrence and geodatabase mapping of three contaminants of emerging concern in receiving water and at effluent from waste water treatment plants - a first overview of the situation in the Republic of Ireland
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
This constitutes the first study to address occurrence and geodatabase mapping of the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (DCL) and the natural (17-beta-estradiol or E2) and synthetic (17-alpha-ethynylestradiol or EE2) ...
Prediction of toxigenic fungal growth in buildings by using a novel modelling system.
(American Society for Microbiology, 1999-11)
There is growing concern about the adverse effects of fungal bioaerosols on the occupants of damp dwellings.
Based on an extensive analysis of previously published data and on experiments carried out within this ...
Putative virulence factor expression by clinical and food isolates of Bacillus spp.after growth in reconstituted infant milk formulae.
(American Society for Microbiology, 2001-09)
Forty-seven strains representing 14 different Bacillus species isolated from clinical and food samples were grown in reconstituted infant milk formulae (IMF) and subsequently assessed for adherence to, invasion of, and ...
Detection, toxicology, environmental fate and risk assessment of nanoparticles in the aquatic environment (DeTER)
(EPA, 2018)
Nanotechnology is an emerging technology that
has the potential to impact on all aspects of life and
the economy and is expected to form the basis of
several technological innovations and advances
in the 21st century. ...
Efficacy of using harmless Bacillus endospores as novel surrogate organisms to indicate the inactivation performance of recalcitrant cryptosporidium parvus oocysts suspended in water using pulsed IV light
(American Society of Parasitologists, 2013-06)
The need to use complex in vitro cell culture, expensive equipment and highly-trained technicians that are available only to specialist laboratories has significantly limited studies assessing the potential of pulsed UV ...
Monitoring, sources, receptors, and control measures for three European Union watch list substances of emerging concern in receiving waters - a 20 year systematic review
(Elsevier, 2017-01)
Pollution of European receiving waters with contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), such as with 17-beta-estradiol (a natural estrogenic hormone, E2), along with pharmaceutically-active compounds diclofenac (an anti-inflammatory ...
Pulsed light as an emerging technology to cause disruption for food and adjacent industries - Quo vadis?
(Elsevier, 2019)
Background
– Despite verbose amount of publications and having gained approval by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 1996 for food-surface disinfection applications, pulsed light (PL) still has not been used on a ...
Investigations on the efficacy of routinely used phenotypic methods compared to genotypic approaches for the identification of staphylococcal species isolated from companion animals in Irish veterinary hospitals
(BMC, 2013)
BACKGROUND:
Identification of Staphylococci to species level in veterinary microbiology is important to inform therapeutic intervention and management. We report on the efficacy of three routinely used commercial phenotypic ...
Pulsed-plasma gas-discharge inactivation of microbial pathogens in chilled poultry wash water.
(International Association for Food Protection, 2007-12)
A pulsed-plasma gas-discharge (PPGD) system was developed for the novel decontamination of chilled poultry washwater. Treatment of poultry wash water in the plasma generation chamber for up to 24 s at 4C reduced Escherichia ...
