Effect of heat‐assisted pulsed electric fields and bacteriophage on enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7

Pulsed electric fields (PEF), heat‐assisted PEF (H‐PEF), and virulent bacteriophage (VP) are non‐thermal techniques for pathogen inactivation in liquids that were investigated individually, and in combination (PEF/VP, H‐PEF/VP) to control enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 in Luria‐Bertani broth (LBB) and Ringer's solution (RS). Treated cells were subsequently incubated at refrigeration (4°C) and temperature‐abuse conditions (12°C) for 5 days. When EHEC cells grown in LBB were subjected to non‐thermal processing and subsequently stored at 12°C for 5 days, reductions in count of between 0.1 and 0.6 log cycles were observed and following storage at 4°C the decrease in counts varied between 0.2 and 1.1 log₁₀. For bacteria cells suspended in RS values ranged from 0.1 to ≥3.9 log cycles at both storage temperatures. The most effective treatments were H‐PEF and H‐PEF/VP, both producing a >3.4 log cycle reduction of cells suspended in non‐nutrient RS. Analysis of EHEC recovery on selective and non‐selective media indicated no occurrence of sub‐lethal damage for VP, PEF/VP, and H‐PEF/VP‐treated cells. The findings indicate that combining PEF and lytic phage may represent a suitable alternative to conventional fluid decontamination following further process optimization. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Florida Red Tide Toxins (Brevetoxins) and Longitudinal Respiratory Effects in Asthmatics

Having demonstrated significant and persistent adverse changes in pulmonary function for asthmatics after 1 h exposure to brevetoxins in Florida red tide (Karenia brevis bloom) aerosols, we assessed the possible longer term health effects in asthmatics from intermittent environmental exposure to brevetoxins over 7 years. 125 asthmatic subjects were assessed for their pulmonary function and reported symptoms before and after 1 h of environmental exposure to Florida red tide aerosols for up to 11 studies over seven years. As a group, the asthmatics came to the studies with normal standardized percent predicted pulmonary function values. The 38 asthmatics who participated in only one exposure study were more reactive compared to the 36 asthmatics who participated in ≥4 exposure studies. The 36 asthmatics participating in ≥4 exposure studies demonstrated no significant change in their standardized percent predicted pre-exposure pulmonary function over the 7 years of the study. These results indicate that stable asthmatics living in areas with intermittent Florida red tides do not exhibit chronic respiratory effects from intermittent environmental exposure to aerosolized brevetoxins over a 7 year period.
