The Food Research Center (FoRC) is an initiative of scientists from University of São Paulo for creation of the first research center focused on food and nutrition in Brazil. It is based on the concept that food and nutrition studies present a multidisciplinary character, and professionals with different backgrounds can study different aspects of the same subject. The main goal is to addr…
This study evaluated the effects of irradiation on the reduction of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), Salmonella strains, and Listeria monocytogenes, as well as on the sensory characteristics of minimally processed spinach.Spinach samples were inoculated with a cocktail of three strains each of STEC, Salmonella strains, and L. monocytogenes, separately, and were exposed to ga…

Shiga toxin producing E. coli microorganisms known as STEC, are an important cause of foodborne illness, responsible for several gastrointestinal disorders in humans, ranging from mild diarrhea to hemorrhagic colitis and, in more severe cases, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Its pathogenicity is due to the presence of several virulence factors, including the Shiga toxin, encoded by the s…
Salmonellosis is a zoonosis of worldwide importance and one of the most common foodborne diseases. Salmonella spp. are often associated with poultry, since those animals are reservoirs of this pathogen. The characterization of foodborne pathogens has been changing, especially in epidemiological studies where molecular typing methods are used. These methods have optimized the identificati…
E. coli O157: H7 is considered the main serotype of Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) involved in outbreaks of foodborne illnesses. However, many cases are occurring throughout the world due to pathogenic strains of STEC non-O157, like O103, O111 and O26. STECs are responsible for symptoms ranging from diarrhea to bloody diarrhea, which can progress to hemolytic uremic syndrome and thrombotic …

The characterization of foodborne pathogen has changed over the years, although traditional typing systems based on phenotypic characteristics, such as antibiogram, biotype and serotype are still widely used. The advent of molecular biology and the use of techniques based on DNA analysis have revolutionized the field of epidemiology and pathogen characterization and whole genome sequencin…
