However, strain CH34 (a type-strain) cannot grow in the medium supplemented with DCM. In the present study, we aimed to unravel the genetic elements underlying the utilization of C1 compounds by strain PD11. The genome subtraction approach indicated that only strain PD11 had several genes highly homologous to those of Herminiimonas arsenicoxydans strain ULPAs1. Moreover, a series of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the orthologs of H. arsenicoxydans genes and the comparative study of the genomes of three strains revealed that the 87.9 kb DNA fragment corresponding to HEAR1959 to HEAR2054 might be horizontally transferred to strain PD11. The 87.9 kb DNA fragment identified was found to contain three genes whose products were putatively involved in the metabolism of formaldehyde, a common intermediate of DCM and methanol. In addition, reverse transcription PCR analysis showed that all three genes were significantly expressed when strain PD11 was cultivated in the presence of DCM or methanol. These findings suggest that strain PD11 can effectively utilize the C1 compounds because of transfer of the mobile genetic elements from other bacterial species, for instance, from H. arsenicoxydans.","PeriodicalId":73831,"journal":{"name":"Journal of microorganism control","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141332657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Commercially prepared chicken meats are frequently contaminated with C. jejuni, which is closely associated with the diffusion of intestinal contents in poultry processing plants. Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is commonly used during chicken processing to prevent food poisoning; however, its antimicrobial activity is not effective in the organic-rich solutions. In this study, we investigated the potential of a new photo-disinfection system, UVA-LED, for the disinfection of C. jejuni-contaminated chicken surfaces. The data indicated that UVA irradiation significantly killed C. jejuni and that its killing ability was significantly facilitated in NaClO-treated chickens. Effective inactivation of C. jejuni was achieved using a combination of UVA and NaClO, even in the organic-rich condition. The results of this study show that synergistic disinfection using a combination of UVA and NaClO has potential beneficial effects in chicken processing systems.","PeriodicalId":73831,"journal":{"name":"Journal of microorganism control","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141332658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the cumulative amount of free chlorine reaching various positions on the floor away from the fogger was measured in a 90-m3 room, using a sulfamate-carrying glass-fiber filter indicator. The fine droplets were blown out from the fogger into the spaces at different discharge port angles of 30 - 90°. Free chlorine was successfully trapped by sulfamate, forming monochlorosulfamate, which was stably retained on the indicator. The cumulative amount of free chlorine（ ng/indicator） increased with fogging time at each position and depended on the blow angle and distance from the fogger. Minor differences in the HOCl(g) concentration near the floor at all positions were observed. The disinfection efficacy of the fogging treatment against Staphylococcus aureus on wet surfaces was relatively higher at positions near the fogger and lower at positions far from the fogger. At each discharge port angle, a strong correlation between the logarithmic reduction in relative viable cells and the cumulative amount of free chlorine reaching S. aureus plates was observed. The slopes of the regression lines of correlation diagrams as a function of the cumulative amount of free chlorine were between -0.0362 and -0.0413 ng-1. This study demonstrated that the cumulative amount of free chlorine measured using the filter indicator could reflect the sum of the free chlorine of both fine droplets and HOCl(g), and that the disinfection efficiency depended on the cumulative amount of free chlorine reaching different areas.","PeriodicalId":73831,"journal":{"name":"Journal of microorganism control","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141332656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, an artificial human respiratory tract model was exposed to 12-140 ppb HOCl(g) at an aspiration flow rate of 800 mL/s for 15 h in a 1 m3 chamber. The respiratory tract model was equipped with 5th order bronchi and all gas-contact parts were made of silicone rubber with no other chlorine-consuming substances. The concentration of HOCl(g) reaching the lung pseudo-space was approximately 47.4% of the HOCl(g) concentrations in the chamber and was calculated to be very close to zero when the chamber concentration was less than 20.5 ppb. The disappearance of HOCl(g) during inhalation is likely due to the adsorption of HOCl(g) on the gas-contact silicone rubber surfaces. The cytotoxicity of HOCl(g) on respiratory epithelial cells was also examined using human air-liquid-interface airway tissue models. Human nasal epithelium and bronchiolar epithelium were exposed to 100 ppb and 500 ppb HOCl(g) for 8 h and 5 d, respectively. No significant effects of HOCl(g) on cell viability and ciliary activity were observed in any cell type, indicating that low concentrations of HOCl(g）, less than 500 ppb, had no cytotoxic effect.","PeriodicalId":73831,"journal":{"name":"Journal of microorganism control","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140178064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To control this disease, bacteriophages have been considered as alternatives to antibiotics. In this study, we applied the lytic bacteriophage PVN06 in striped catfish fingerlings to prevent E. ictaluri infection. In an experimental trial, the phage was administered to fish by feeding phage-coated feed with doses of 7.17±0.09, 8.17±0.09 and 9.17±0.09 log PFU/g feed per day before bacterial infection. Fish were infected by bacteria once with concentrations ranging from 3.01 to 7.01 log CFU/ml tank water. A day after infection, phage treatment resumed at a rate of once per day until the end of the trial. The results of the trial show that bacterial infection caused typical symptoms of BNP in fish with the cumulative fish death rate of 36.7±2.9 to 75.0±5.0%, depending on the bacterial concentration used for infection. Phage treatment with 9.17±0.09 log PFU/g significantly reduced the mortality rate, while treatments with 8.17±0.09 and 7.17±0.09 log PFU/g did not.
