The European Food Safety Commission (EFSA) has published guidelines for reporting whole genome sequencing (WGS) data to its One Health WGS System, which will support outbreak investigations and other EFSA activities.
Olymel has announced the opening of its new central microbiology lab, which will allow the company to perform in-house pathogen detection and other tests for its pork and poultry products.
A Michigan State University-led research team has received a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop a rapid biosensor test for foodborne pathogens, with a focus on Salmonella and Campylobacter in poultry.
PathogenDx, a provider of molecular-based testing solutions, has received the industry’s first AOAC certification for detecting bacterial and fungal species in a single well test for cannabis matrices.
A European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) fellowship explores whole genome sequencing (WGS) standardization in outbreak investigations, as well as the use of WGS in monitoring pathogen virulence and antimicrobial resistance.
Hygiena’s BAX® System SalQuant™ approach can replace the time-consuming “most probable number” testing method for concentration levels of Salmonella in beef, pork, and poultry.
A dataset on Listeria monocytogenes has been compiled from over 1,400 genomes collected across 19 European nations to better understand the pathogen’s genetic makeup and adaptation in different ecological niches.
A recent study has discovered high levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Escherichia coli in samples of raw chicken meat and chicken fecal matter.
