which are used commonly as indicators of the sanitary quality of food and staphylococcus bacteria which grow in improperly stored foods.

Tests for bacteria showed that one of the treats contained Clostridium difficile one was contaminated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and seven contained E coli.

The main culprit Staph aureus lives on our skin and can cause infection around catheters used during treatment of dialysis-related infections.

</a>mostly<em>Lactobacillus gasseri</em>and<em>Enterococcus faecalis</em>as the starter for fermenting sausages.

The study researchers found that a few strains of<em>Lactobacillus</em>seemed to be best for jump-starting the fermentation process.

and infection with bacteria called Listeria which are also found in raw milk has been linked with high rates of stillbirths preterm delivery as well as sepsis

which means they can carry pathogens such as Listeria Campylobacter Salmonella Brucella and E coli. Top 7 Germs in Food that Make You Sick Over the past decade consumption of raw milk has resulted in 93 illness outbreaks 1837 illnesses 195 hospitalizations and two deaths according to the Centers for Disease

For example pregnant women unborn fetuses and newborns are 13 to 17 times more likely to develop severe illness because of listeria infection compared with other groups of people studies have shown.

And 20 percent of pregnant women who become infected with Listeria experience a miscarriage or stillbirth according to the AAP.

Two-thirds of infants whose mothers are infected with Listeria develop infections such as pneumonia sepsis or meningitis.

For example a label might say Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. Microbe counts are listed as colony-forming units (CFU)

However these bacteria called Lactobacillus delbrueckii subspecies bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus don't make it through the intestines alive Sanders said.

Nowadays buttermilk is cultured by adding live lactic acid bacteria generally Lactococcus lactis or Lactobacillus bulgaricus to low-fat milk.

Such nodules are often a sign of tuberculosis a lung infection caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

The CDC reports that Listeria infection may cause miscarriage stillbirth preterm labor and illness or death in newborns.

#Livestock Workers May Carry Staph Bacteria from Pigs Workers who handle livestock may carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria in their noses after they leave the farm.

A small study of hog workers in North carolina found that many carried staph bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus)

and some carried drug-resistant strains of the bug including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA.

and is known for spreading among hospital patients. 6 Superbugs to Watch out For About one-third of people in the general population carry the human-associated strain of Staphylococcus aureus in their noses at any given time according to the Centers for Disease Control

Staph infections can become more serious problems when they involve surgical wounds the bloodstream the lungs or the urinary tract according to Johns hopkins university.

Antibiotic-resistant strains of staph such as MRSA can be the most damaging because they can be very difficult to treat.

The researchers found that 19 (86 percent) of the workers carried some form of Staphylococcus aureus

and 16 workers (73 percent) carried livestock-associated staph at some point in those two weeks.

But 10 of those 22 workers (46 percent) persistently carried livestock-associated staph; these strains were found either in all or all but one of their nasal samples over the 14-day study.

Six of the workers persistently carried the variety of Staphylococcus aureus that is resistant to multiple drugs

and is known as MDRSA (multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and one worker persistently carried MRSA. Some of the workers still had the bacteria in their noses even after they spent four days off work and away from the hog farm.

Previous research has shown that people who persistently carry Staphylococcus aureus have increased an risk of infection in clinical settings.

if there's a link between the workers who carry livestock-related staph in their noses and increased infections.

In the study researchers in Spain isolated 11 strains of bacteria from wine including strains of Lactobacillus

and Pediococcus bacteria which are associated with the wine-making process. Up to now many studies have reported that the best foods to deliver probiotics are fermented dairy products

so that the probiotic properties of wine-related Lactobacillus were studied hardly said study author Dolores Gonzã¡

One product called Listshield sold by Intralytix controls Listeria monocytogenes and can be applied directly to poultry meat.#

Instead makers likely fermented this cheese using microbes such as Lactobacillus and Saccharomycetaceae yeasts which are used commonly to make the still-popular fermented dairy beverage known as kefir.

Most of these were known lactobacillaceae for their health-promoting effects, and for their ability to limit intestinal pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella.

The pigs also had much smaller proportions of bacteria from the lactobacillaceae family. The team also found that the differences in gut microbial communities affected the expression of genes associated with the piglets'immune system.

Most of these were Lactobacillaceae, a family of bacteria known for their ability to limit intestinal pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella species. By contrast,

Pigs from these cleaner environments also had much smaller proportions of bacteria from the Lactobacillaceae.

One of the five yoghurt strains Bifidobacterium animalis lactis also showed a similar boost in its ability to metabolize carbohydrates.

The disease, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis, could cost the government £1  billion (US$1. 6  billion) in control measures and compensation over the next decade.

or agricultural fields fertilized with pig manure are more likely to become infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria,

They have added also non-routine tests to target the pig situation looking for Streptococcus Salmonella E coli O157 and thermotolerant coliform bacteria.

but was lost to a staph infection. I worked 16 years with a fused knee just as many of the workers of my generation would.

In the Kafue area a high incidence of Mycobacterium bovis in both cattle and the Kafue lechwe antilope has been detected.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis which is the main cause of human tuberculosis has also been detected in cattle in this region.

Human tuberculosis is caused by bacteria belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Sidney Malama's doctoral research shows that Mycobacterium tuberculosis which is the most prevalent tuberculosis bacterium in humans also occurs in cattle in Namwala.

In other words this bacterium is zoonotic. Malama has detected a large degree of genetic variation amongst M. tuberculosis in humans in this area of Zambia

Lactobacillus johnsonii has previously been shown to exclude Clostridium perfringens from the guts of poultry opening the door to it being developed as a way of reducing necrotic enteritis in poultry and food poisoning in humans.

This strain of Lactobacillus johnsonii is now being taken through farm-scale trials to assess its potential use to combat pathogenic infections of poultry by bacteria such as C. perfringens.

#Probiotics reduce piglet pathogenspiglets fed probiotic Enterococcus faecium showed reduced numbers of potentially pathogenic Escherichia coli strains in their intestines according to a team of German researchers.

Bifidobacterium longum subspecies infantis (B. infantis) and Bifidobacterium animalis lactis (B. lactis. Laboratory analysis of bacteria of fecal samples from the infants found that B. infantis was more effective at colonizing bifidobacteria the healthy bacteria in the newborns'gastrointestinal tracts than B. lactis.

#More and more Danes infected with MRSA bacteriain 2012 1556 Danes were found positive with methicillin-resistant staphylococci--MRSA.

FACTSMRSA bacteria MRSA is short for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. When bacteria are exposed to antimicrobial agents they protect themselves by developing resistance.

Staphylococci are bacteria found in humans animals and in our surrounding environment. Staphylococcus aureus is part of the normal nasal and skin flora in approx. 50%of the population.

Staphylococcus aureus can cause a wide range of infections ranging from superficial wounds and abscesses to serious infections such as Osteitis and Endocarditis.

In hospitals Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequent cause of post-surgery infections. In 2012 MRSA was identified in 1556 people.

This represents an increase of 20%on 2011 when 1292 people were infected. Only 67 people were infected at hospitals

and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public health have for the first time found an association between living in proximity to high-density livestock production and community-acquired infections with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus commonly known as MRSA.

Bovine TB is primarily a disease of cattle caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis. The disease is hugely expensive costing the Government over £91 million in England in 2010/11.

one against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and another against another type of worm. To discover these targets the team determined

The researchers who conducted the genetic analysis of strains of Staphylococcus aureus known as CC97 say these strains developed resistance to methicillin after they crossed over into humans around forty years ago.

The drug-resistant bacteria examined were Staphylococcus aureus commonly known as Staph which include the well-known bug MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).

New Staph strains are emerging in people who have close contact with livestock animals and for this reason have been given the name livestock-associated Staph.

While everyone in the study had direct or indirect contact with livestock only industrial workers carried antibiotic-resistant Staph with multiple genetic characteristics linked to livestock.

The study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public health the University of North carolina at Chapel hill the Rural Empowerment Association for Community Help the George washington University and the Statens Serum Institute

published July 2 by the journal PLOS ONE confirms earlier findings in Iowa and raises concern about antibiotics use in livestock production.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention some Staph cannot be killed by antibiotics meaning they are resistant.

MRSA is a strain of Staph bacteria that is resistant to methicillin and certain first-line antibiotics called beta-lactams.

Workers were not experiencing Staph infections at the time of the study but when antibiotic resistant bacteria do cause infections they can be harder to treat.

The research also characterised a new profile of Mycobacterium bovis bacterium (SB1982) which has never been reported before.

and Biological sciences Research Council had previously found that the probiotic Lactobacillus johnsonsii when given to young chicks prevents the colonisation of C. perfringens.

In experiments with a mouse model of human immune function the scientists vaccinated mice for listeria a common bacterium that causes food-borne illness

Of 175 very-low-birth-weight infants 23 (13 percent) developed sepsis from gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococci Streptococcus and Enterococcus species and gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli

one (four percent) was contaminated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics;

In a study of 36 weanling-age pigs researchers found that a dose of lipid-producing Rhodococcus opacus bacteria increased circulating triglycerides.

#Fermented milk made by lactococcus lactis H61 improves skin of healthy young womenthere has been much interest in the potential for using probiotic bacteria for treating skin diseases and other disorders.

The investigators conducted a randomized double-blind trial to evaluate the effects of fermented milk produced using Lactococcus lactis strain H61 as a starter bacterium (H61-fermented milk) on the general health and various skin properties

and distributed a special yogurt containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus bacteria and observed the outcomes against a control group.

What they found was the new strain of Bacillus pumilus a unique highly motile Gram-positive bacterium capable of colonizing the mung bean plant without causing any harm.

#Lymphatic fluid used for first time to detect bovine paratuberculosisparatuberculosis also known as Johne's disease is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP.

Dominating the bacterial communities were a core microbiome of taxa including Actinobacteria Alpha-Beta-and Gamma-proteobacteria and Sphingobacteria.

Just as on human skin many of the bacteria on tropical tree leaves were Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria.

Building on these new technologies teams from INRA and Danone Nutricia Research succeeded in analyzing for the first time with great accuracy the effects of consuming a fermented milk product containing probiotics such as Bifidobacterium lactis on gut bacteria.

Much of the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria they carried were antibiotic resistant likely due to the use of drugs both to treat sick hogs

and even into hospitals where the bacteria have been associated with an increased risk of staph infections.

In Europe the children of livestock workers have been treated for infections caused by a new livestock-associated strain of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) that doesn't match the more widely found community-or hospital-associated strains.

Researchers later analyzed 327 separate nose swabs to see what kind of Staph bacteria they found

Eighty-six percent of the hog workers--19 of them--carried at least one type of Staphylococcus aureus at some point during the study period

In contrast only about one-third of the general population carry a strain of Staphylococcus aureus associated with humans.

what the researchers call persistent carriers of livestock-associated Staph meaning they had these strains in their noses all

Garden-variety staph are common bacteria that can live in our bodies without consequence. When they do cause infection most aren't life threatening

But staph can also cause more serious skin infections or infect surgical wounds the bloodstream the lungs or the urinary tract.

Strains of staph like MRSA which are resistant to some antibiotics can be the most damaging

Persistence of livestock-associated antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus among industrial hog operation workers in North carolina over 14 days was written by Maya Nadimpalli Jessica L. Rinsky Steve Wing Devon

These lactic acid bacteria have now been tested on severe human wound pathogens such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Pseudomonas aeruginosa and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) among others.

They proved potent in initial tests on Gram-positive bacteria so named for a staining technique to mark bacteria that are more susceptible to antibiotics than their Gram-negative counterparts.

and analogs lacking a hydroxyl group were even more effective against the same Gram-positive bacteria. The results also suggested the possibility of making variants by modifying certain domains of the molecule to improve its overall pharmacological properties.

MRSA backgroundmrsa stands for methichillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. When bacteria are exposed to antibiotics they protect themselves by developing resistance.

Staphylococci are bacteria which can be found in humans animals and our surroundings. Staphylococcus aureus is part of the normal nasal and skin flora of approximately 50%of the population.

Staphylococcus aureus may cause various infections ranging from superficial wounds and abscesses to severe infections such as bone inflammation and infection of the heart valve.

In hospitals Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequent cause of infections following surgery. Story Source: The above story is provided based on materials by Technical University of Denmark (DTU.
