Article Abstract
Fresh produce, when consumed raw, can be a source of exposure to antimicrobial residues, antimicrobial-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) of clinical importance. This review aims to determine: (1) the presence and abundance of antimicrobial residues, ARB and ARGs in fresh agricultural products sold in retail markets and consumed raw; (2) associated health risks in humans; and (3) pathways through which fresh produce becomes contaminated with ARB/ARGs. We searched the Ovid Medline, Web of Science and Hinari databases as well as grey literature, and identified 40 articles for inclusion. All studies investigated the occurrence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, and ten studies focused on ARGs in fresh produce, while none investigated antimicrobial residues. The most commonly observed ARB were (42.5%) followed by spp. (22.5%), and spp. (20%), mainly detected on lettuce. Twenty-five articles mentioned health risks from consuming fresh produce but none quantified the risk. About half of the articles stated produce contamination occurred during pre- and post-harvest processes. Our review indicates that good agricultural and manufacturing practices, behavioural change communication and awareness-raising programs are required for all stakeholders along the food production and consumption supply chain to prevent ARB/ARG exposure through produce.

Recently, joint replacement surgery is facing significant challenges of patient dissatisfaction and the need for revision procedures. In-situ monitoring of stress stability at the site of artificial joint replacement during postoperative evaluation is important. Mechanoluminescence (ML), a novel "force to light" conversion technology, may be used to monitor such bio-stress within tissues.

As the world's largest producer of kiwifruit, China faces significant yield and quality losses due to the widespread occurrence of kiwifruit root rot. To explore alternative biological control strategies for kiwifruit root rot, this study isolated 11 fungal isolates from diseased kiwifruit roots and identified as the primary pathogen. Additionally, a biocontrol strain, C3, was isolated from the rhizosphere of healthy kiwifruit and shown to significantly inhibit pathogen growth.

PhysioPain dataset comprises several physiological data of different kinds of pain: no pain, headache, menstrual cycle pain and back/neck/waist pain in search of a sophisticated and complete approach to pain representation. The study comprised 99 individuals, of whom 93 participants contributed real-time physiological data. These participants underwent experiment process to gather real-time physiological data including electroencephalogram (EEG), skin temperature, electrodermal activity (EDA), blood volume pulse (BVP), and accelerometer data.

Cattle are a reservoir for the zoonotic human foodborne pathogen Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), the causative agent of many disease outbreaks associated with contaminated fresh leafy greens. Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) housing cattle generate fugitive dust, however the potential risk of STEC movement by means of the aerosolized dust is not well known. In this investigation, we used metagenome sequencing of air samples collected in an agricultural setting to investigate airborne transfer of STEC from a large CAFO to the surrounding area.

Fresh walnuts are prone to moisture loss and spoilage after harvest, leading to reduced appearance and sensory quality. In this study, a multifunctional chitosan (CS)-based film was fabricated by incorporating a bacterial cellulose/oregano essential oil (BC/OEO) Pickering emulsion, with hydrogen bonding promoting cohesive matrix integration. The film's physicochemical properties, along with its antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, were systematically evaluated.
