In this study, an immuno-magnetic bead (IMB)-based assay was developed to simultaneously detect , and spp. and was tested in four animal-derived foods: beef, ham, egg, and ricotta cheese. The IMB-based assay exhibited good specificity by binding to five serotypes [capture efficiency (CE) average (avg.) 90.4%], five strains (CE avg. 91.4%), and five serotypes (CE avg. 95.4%) but not binding to non-target bacteria (CE<10%). Furthermore, the assay detected all three pathogens with a detection limit of 10 CFU/g without the need for enrichment or additional platforms. Since the results demonstrated that the IMB-based assay can effectively separate and enrich target bacteria from a variety of animal-derived food matrixes, the assay exhibits good pecificity for potential use in providing rapid, immunological, presumptive identification of pathogenic bacteria.

Rapid, low-cost, and visual nucleic acid detection methods are highly attractive for curbing colistin resistance spread through the food chain. CRISPR/Cas12a combined with recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) offers a one-pot, aerosol-free approach for visual detection. However, traditional one-pot systems often run Cas12a trans-cleavage in a buffer suitable for RAA, thus limiting Cas12a cleavage efficiency.

The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) poses a significant threat to global public health, necessitating alternative therapeutic strategies. In this study, we isolated and characterized a novel lytic bacteriophage (phage), vB_EcoM_51, from poultry farm sewage and evaluated its potential against MDR . Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the phage exhibits morphological features typical of the family, including a polyhedral head (∼66.

7-Ketocholesterol (7-KC) is a biologically active oxysterol formed through the oxidation of cholesterol, predominantly under conditions of oxidative stress. It is generated both enzymatically in specific tissues such as the brain and liver, and non-enzymatically via reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially in aging tissues and heat-processed animal-derived foods. 7-KC exerts multifaceted effects on human health, extending beyond lipid metabolism to disrupt glucose and amino acid utilization, impair mitochondrial function, and provoke endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.
