Bacteria are expected to be injured or killed by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP). This depends on pressure levels, species and strain of the microorganism and subsequent storage. Injured bacteria may be repaired which could affect the microbiological quality of foodstuffs with an important safety consideration especially in low acid food products. In this Study two Gram-positive (Listeria monocytogenes CA and Staphylococcus aureus 485) and two Gram-negative (Escherichia coli O157:H7 933 and Salmonella enteritidis FDA) relatively pressure resistant strains of foodborne pathogens were pressurized at 350, 450 and 550 MPa in milk (pH 6.65) and stored at 4, 22 and 30degreesC. The results of shelf life studies indicated two types of injury, I I and 12, for all the pathogens Studied. It is obvious that 12 type injury is a major injury and after its repair (12 to I I), the cells can form colonies on non-selective but not on selective agar. The formation of colonies on both selective and non-selective agar occurs Only after full recovery Of injury (11 to AC). The results presented in this study show that even if injured cells are not detected immediately after HHP treatment, 12 type injury could be potentially present in the food system. Therefore, it is imperative that shelf life Studies must be conducted over a period of time for potential repair of 12 type injury either to detectable injury (11) or to active cells (AC) to ascertain microbiological safety of low acid food products.

IMMUNE RESPONSES AGAINST CHIMERIC DNA AND PROTEIN VACCINES COMPOSED OF PLPEN-OMPH AND PLPEC-OMPH FROM PASTEURELLA MULTOCIDA A:3 IN MICE
Okay, Sezer; Ozcengiz, Erkan; Özcengiz, Gülay (Akademiai Kiado Zrt., 2012-12-01)
Pasteurella multocida is a pathogenic bacterium causing many diseases that are of significant economic importance to livestock industries. Outer membrane protein H (ompH) gene and two fragments of Pasteurella lipoprotein E (plpE) gene, namely plpEN and plpEC, were cloned from P. multocida A:3. Three DNA vaccine formulations, namely pCMV-ompH, pCMV-plpEN-ompH and pCMV-plpEC-ompH and two protein-based prototype vaccines, alum adjuvanted PlpEN-OmpH and PlpEC-OmpH, were generated. Antibody levels were induced i...
Inhibition of the TIRAP-c-Jun interaction as a therapeutic strategy for AP1-mediated inflammatory responses

Bacterial endotoxin-induced sepsis causes 30-40% of the deaths in the intensive care unit (ICU) globally, for which there is no pharmacotherapy. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a bacterial endotoxin, stimulates the Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 signalling pathways to upregulate the expression of various inflammatory mediators. Here, we show that the TIRAP and c-Jun protein signalling complex forms in macrophages in response to LPS stimulation, which increases the AP1 transcriptional activity, thereby amplifying the ...
Surface water isolates of hemolytic and non-hemolytic Acinetobacter with multiple drug and heavy metal resistance ability
Akbulut, Sevilay; Yilmaz, Fadime; İçgen, Bülent (IWA Publishing, 2014-01-01)
Acinetobacter in surface waters are a major concern because of their rapid development of resistance to a wide range of antimicrobials and their ability to persist in these waters for a very long time. Four surface water isolates of Acinetobacter having both multidrug-and multimetal-resistant ability were isolated and identified through biochemical tests and 16S rDNA sequencing. Based on these analyses, two hemolytic isolates were affiliated with Acinetobacter haemolyticus with an accession number of X81662...
Productivity Analyses in Fermentations with Three Different Biolarvacides
Özçelik, Hayriye; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biotechnology (2004)
The development of insecticides resistance among many insect species and the ecological damage occasionally caused by the lack of specificity in the toxic effects of insecticides have provided the impetus to seek alternative methods of insect control. This observation led to the development of bioinsecticides based on the insecticidal action Bacillus sphaericus (Bs), Bacillus turingiensis (Bt). The discovery of biolarvicidal actions of Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus sphaericus opened a new perspective ...
Suppressive oligodeoxynucleotides protect mice from lethal endotoxic shock.
Shirota, H; Gursel, I; Gürsel, Mayda; Klinman, DM (The American Association of Immunologists, 2005-04-15)
Endotoxic shock is a life-threatening condition caused by exposure to bacterial LPS. LPS triggers the release of acute phase, proinflammatory, and Th1 cytokines that facilitate the development of endotoxic shock. Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) expressing suppressive TTAGGG motifs effectively down-regulate the production of proinflammatory and Th1 cytokines elicited by a variety of immune stimuli. The current results demonstrate that suppressive ODN protect mice from LPS-induced endotoxic shock. Under...
