MATPROG-Matprogrammet: Norsk mat fra sjø og land

Stability and mobility of Shiga toxin-encoding bacteriophages in clinical and environmental strains of Escherichia coli O103

E. coli O103 belongs to a subset of serotypes of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) associated with severe human illnesses. Shiga toxin (Stx) production is essential but not sufficient for virulence in pathogenic STEC as factors involved in att achment, haemolysis and iron scavenging a...

MATPROG-Matprogrammet: Norsk mat fra sjø og land

Reduction/elimination of spore forming bacteria in lightly heat treated foods

The project seeks to identify processes which are able to strongly reduce spore forming bacteria in lightly heat treated (<98 ºC) foods. To solve this task, three research groups with different, complementary competence will cooperate. The project require s characterisation of potentially pathoge...

Bacillus cereus enterotoxin secretion and receptor specificity – impact of Gram-positive and Gram-negative model systems

Bacillus cereus (Bc) has for long been Norway’s most important food-poisoner. This species makes three different enterotoxins and one emetic toxin. The main goal with this project is to combine the knowledge of two research groups to determine how the ent erotoxins are secreted from Bc and to cha...

Inhibition and suppression of bacterial growth by Sphagnum moss biopolymers

Remarkably, a pectin-like polysaccharide found in the leaves of Sphagnum moss displays direct anti-microbial properties with the ability to preserve a whole Zebra fish for a number of weeks at room temperature in the presence of oxygen. Using whole leaves of moss, we have even preserved a chicke...

Pathogenicity of Bacillus spp.other than B. cereus

The food industry has no methods available to test for toxin producing Bacillus strains other the B.cereus. We want to make it possible for the Food industry to be able to find such strains in raw materials and products before marketing. This will be don e by:- Isolate and characterize possible ...

Virulensfaktorer i Aeromonas spp.

Sammendrag: Aeromonas spp. viser i litteraturen en uvanlig rikdom på ulike toksiner. Vi ønsker å undersøke den relative betydningen av de ulike toksinen hos Aeromonas spp. Fra før av er aerolysinets viktighet kjent ved hjelp av knock out mutasjon i aerol ysingenet hos en Aeromonas hydrophila eli...

Karakterisering av enterotoksiner i Bacillus cereus

Sammendrag:Toksinkomplekset Nhe (ikke hemolytisk), som først ble karakterisert av vår gruppe, er sannsynligvis det enterotoksinet som er viktigst i forbindelse med matforgiftning (i alle fall i Norge). Komplekssammensetningen av dette toksinet er ikke end elig klarlagt. Vi ønsker derfor å finne u...
