Red Wine and Grape Juice Help Defend Against Food-Borne Diseases, according to MU Researchers
Red wine is known to have multiple health benefits. Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia have found that red wine may also protect humans from common food-borne diseases. view more (2007-10-11)
Genetic clues to Sodalis deepens knowledge of bacterial diseases
By sequencing the genome of the symbiotic bacterium Sodalis, which lives off the major disease-transmitting insect, the tsetse fly, researchers at Yale School of Medicine have come a step closer to understanding how microbial pathogens cause disease. view more (2005-12-15)
Institute of Food Research in 2001
The social impact of food safety; genetic control of bacterial virulence; fish oils, cells and suicide; understanding food texture for improved functionality and enjoyment; these are some of the areas covered in Institute of Food Research's annual report, published today. Highlights from the past year and plans for the future are detailed in the... view more... (2001-05-31)
Eating less red meat can prevent cancer, heart attacks and global warming
Raising livestock also accounts for around 18% of greenhouse gases. It is therefore possible to act against climate change and reduce cardiovascular and cancer deaths, by cutting the production and consumption of 'red meat' from these animals. view more (2009-08-31)
Centre for logistics software and Auto-ID
Was the cooling chain interrupted at some point during transportation? Such information will in future be stored on RFID tags, a clear improvement on inflexible bar codes. Researchers are working hand in hand with industry to gather more data on appropriate applications. view more (2004-10-04)
Lettuce, leafy greens and E. coli
The rise in year-round consumption of fresh leafy greens such as lettuce and baby spinach is increasing the difficulty of keeping produce free from contamination by food poisoning bacteria. view more (2007-09-04)
Make your own microfluidic device with new kit from U-M
A type of device called a "lab-on-a-chip" could bring a new generation of instant home tests for illnesses, food contaminants and toxic gases. But today these portable, efficient tools are often stuck in the lab themselves. Specifically, in the labs of researchers who know how to make them from scratch. view more (2008-07-25)
Plague proteome reveals proteins linked to infection
Recreating growth conditions in flea carriers and mammal hosts, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists have uncovered 176 proteins and likely proteins in the plague-bacterium Yersinia pestis whose numbers rise and fall according to the disease's virulence. view more (2006-11-27)
Food Scientists Confirm the Effectiveness of Commercial Product in Killing Bacteria in Vegetable Washwater
Research conducted by food science faculty at the University of Idaho and Washington State University indicate that a commercially available fruit and vegetable wash, when used in a food-manufacturing setting, can dramatically decrease the number of disease-causing organisms in produce-processing washwater. view more (2008-06-26)
University of Manchester launches new anti-MRSA product
Scientists at The University of Manchester, along with healthcare product manufacturer Brimaid, have unveiled a new product which aims to aid hospitals in the fight against MRSA. The BioKab is a bedside cabinet which has been specifically designed to reduce the spread and infection of harmful bacteria in hospital wards. view more (2005-05-10)
Pathogens use previously undescribed mechanism to sabotage host immune system
New research identifies a previously unknown enzymatic mechanism that subverts the early host immune response and promotes pathogenicity by manipulating a common signaling pathway in host cells. view more (2007-12-10)
How Good Are Indicator Bacteria at Predicting Pathogens in Recreational Water?
Bacteria commonly used to indicate health risks in recreational waters might not be so reliable after all. Pathogenic E. coli were pervasive in stream-water samples with low concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria. view more (2009-09-23)
Purdue creates new low-cost system to detect bacteria
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new low-cost system that analyzes scattered laser light to quickly identify bacteria for applications in medicine, food processing and homeland security at one-tenth the cost of conventional technologies. view more (2006-07-28)
