"Public health authorities and clinicians should be vigilant for possible STEC O104 infection in individuals returning from these areas who present with post-diarrheal HUS," the article advises.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The study involved eight out of 22 French tourists who became sick after a two-week bus tour of Turkey in September of 2011. Two of these patients, both women in their 60s, experienced more serious illnesses, and upon their return to Caen, France they were treated for HUS, a complication of E. coli infection that leads to kidney failure.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Exposure to the bacteria most likely occurred in Turkey, the authors say, because the women began experiencing symptoms 11 days into their trip, and the average incubation period for E. coli O104:H4 is only 8 to 9 days. The incubation period is the time between contact with a pathogen and when symptoms begin to appear.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The two HUS cases may have been unrelated to the diarrheal illnesses of the other tour group members, according to the article.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;"The reported incubation period [for the other 6 diarrheal cases] was much shorter than that of the HUS cases," it states. "Moreover, none were confirmed as STEC O104:H4 infection. Thus, this cluster may have been due to another pathogen and may have been a distinct event not linked to the HUS cases." &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;This most recent outbreak of &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;E. coli O104:H4&lt;/i&gt; from Turkey adds to evidence suggesting that the serogroup E. coli O104 circulates in this region of the world says the report. Between 2006 and 2010, the authors note, there have been reports of travelers returning from Afghanistan, Egypt, Tunisia and Turkey infected with various strains of the serogroup.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Source: Public Health Surveillance, University Hospital of Caen's Nephrology Department&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;

However, Congress took those organizational powers away during the Reagan Administration. In his last State of the State address, Obama asked to have the authority restored to the Oval Office, and this week renewed that call.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Jerry Hagstrom pointed out that more than two federal agencies are involved in food safety.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;"FSIS, whose inspectors must be present in every meat plant in the country, has a much bigger budget than FDA, which has responsibility for other foods. Twelve agencies are involved in food safety, this will end.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has called for consolidation of all food-safety functions into a single agency, an end to fragmented oversight supported by most, but not all, outside food-safety advocates.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In renewing his call for Presidential consolidation authority on Friday, Obama said his plan to merge six business and trade agencies is just the "first action" he has in mind.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;It apparently includes moving the National Oceanic and Fisheries Administration (NOAA) from the Commerce Department to Interior.

This rule will allow FSIS personnel to conduct a more efficient carcass-by-carcass inspection with agency resources focused on more effective food safety measures. Data collected by the Agency over the past several years suggests that offline inspection activities are more effective in improving food safety. Inspection activities conducted off the evisceration line include pathogen sampling, and verifying that establishments are maintaining sanitary conditions and controlling food safety hazards at &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Critical Control Points&lt;/b&gt; in the production process.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Over the past two years, FSIS has announced several new measures to safeguard the food supply, prevent foodborne illness, and improve consumers' knowledge about the food they eat. These initiatives support the three core principles developed by the President's Food Safety Working Group: prioritizing prevention; strengthening surveillance and enforcement; and improving response and recovery. Some of these actions include:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-list: Ignore;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Performance standards for poultry establishments for continued reductions in the occurrence of pathogens.

and although it did not examine O104:H4 (the strain apparent in the spring epidemic in Germany and France), the authors found that all the strains investigated died rapidly on copper.&lt;br /&gt;On a dry copper surface, the investigators showed that 10m &lt;em&gt;E. coli&lt;/em&gt; bacteria were eliminated within 10 minutes, while on a wet copper surface, one could expect a ‘total kill’ within around 45 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;Asked about the potential food safety benefits of integrating copper within food processing facilities, Keevil said: “The problem is that people always think of copper as the pure metal. If you’re a French cook, then you know that the best cordon bleu cookery schools use copper pans, they’re expensive. Pure copper isn’t very good in acid conditions, but now there is a whole range of alloys.”&lt;br /&gt;Keevil said that such alloys were never investigated to see if they had antimicrobial properties, but that his team had shown that alloys containing more than 60% copper were antimicrobial.&lt;br /&gt;“So there’s a whole family of copper alloys that could be very beneficially in things like food processing. They’re resistant to acid attack, for example, in contact with foods.”&lt;br /&gt;Integrating copper into plants&lt;br /&gt;Asked how copper could be integrated into facilities, Keevil said:“You might be concerned that staffs are contaminated.In that case a copper alloy surface would protect against worker contamination. The other big issue is that the foods themselves are naturally contaminated. &lt;em&gt;E&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;em&gt;coli&lt;/em&gt; O157:H7, for example, is present in contaminated beef, &lt;em&gt;Salmonella&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Campylobacter&lt;/em&gt; in contaminated chicken.”&lt;br /&gt;Keevil noted that these meats could contaminate, say, salads or tomatoes placed on food contact surfaces after they were removed.&lt;br /&gt;“Protecting against staff, you would certainly be looking at door handles, push plates on doors, etc. But if you’re concerned about contaminated food itself, then the actual food preparation area – cutting areas, conveyer belts, etc. are all very important.”&lt;br /&gt;But with copper trading at around $7,500 on the London Metal Exchange, did Keevil accept that the significant premium involved for food processors using the metal instead of stainless steel?&lt;br /&gt;He said: “When I’ve spoken to metallurgists in the copper industry, they tell me there’s very little difference between the price of stainless steel and copper. All I know is that there isn’t that much of price differential.”&lt;br /&gt;Keevil said that previous research on contact surfaces within the food industry also showed that copper was also effective against Listeria on both dry and wet copper surfaces.&lt;br /&gt;We then moved on to the hospital acquired infecti&lt;a name="_GoBack"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;ons, such as MRSA, &lt;em&gt;Clostridium difficile&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Acinetobacter baumannii&lt;/em&gt;, and again copper was doing a great job,” he added.&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://alturl.com/da68r"&gt;http://alturl.com/da68r&lt;/a&gt; y &lt;a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1462-2920.2011.02677.x/suppinfo"&gt;Enviromental Microbiology, November 2011&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aporte: M.

Approximately 60% of emerging and reemerging pathogens, which also include hantavirus, Yersinia pestis, and West Nile virus, are zoonotic, with clear links leading to human cases from wild, domestic, or companion animals, or insect vectors. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;The 2003 report "Microbial Threats to Health: Emergence, Detection, and Response," from a committee of the Institute of Medicine in Washington, D.C., states that many infectious diseases emerge following the convergence of four complex critical elements: &lt;strong&gt;physical and environmental factors; ecological factors; social, political, and economic factors; and genetic and biological factors.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Experts in human, animal, and environmental health provide the basis for the discipline called infectious disease ecology. As we begin to train people to work within this integrated new discipline, we cannot forget that clinical microbiologists focus primarily on one species of animal-humans-while our veterinary colleagues work with many of the rest. Importantly, we all benefit when the skills and knowledge of both groups are &lt;strong&gt;brought together&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;The complex interdisciplinary interactions&amp;nbsp;are required&amp;nbsp;to solve highly prevalent complex problems .

These investigative efforts include veterinary and environmental laboratory colleagues, taking advantage of their special skills in these arenas. These collaborations are helping us to realize the value of the &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;One Health concept&lt;/b&gt;, which integrates human, animal, and environmental health when dealing with infectious diseases. This integrated approach also matches with what officials at the World Health Organization now recommend, and reinforces the value of taking a broad view of disease ecology. Our growing understanding of these important interfaces is providing insights into the complex chains that lead to human and animal illnesses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;Source: &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;J.

The president's Food Safety Working Group (FSWG) was launched after the deadly Salmonella peanut butter outbreak in late 2008, early 2009. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Authorities pointed to a number of recent successes: the FDA implemented &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;the Egg Safety Rule&lt;/b&gt; in 2010; the FDA, in partnership with USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service, established &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;a Produce Safety Alliance &lt;/b&gt;at Cornell University to develop educational and training materials for growers of all sizes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's comprehensive estimates show that E. coli illnesses have been reduced by almost half. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;The FSWG also chronicled efforts made over the three years by USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The agency &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;set new Salmonella standards for poultry establishments&lt;/b&gt;, which may prevent as many as 25,000 foodborne illnesses annually. FSIS also announced a zero tolerance policy for &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;six additional strains of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC),&lt;/b&gt; which will launch in March 2012, and a "test and hold" policy that requires facilities to hold product until microbiological clearance be obtained.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;"The litany of new acronyms for the task forces and interagency consultations that are described in the Obama Administration's new Progress Report on Food Safety is worthy of a good spy novel: from SIP to CORE; from ICAT to CalciNet," said Caroline Smith DeWaal, director of food safety at the Center for Science in the Public Interest. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;The report documents important improvements that have been made in the food safety system, especially with the adoption and implementation of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act," continued DeWaal. "However, with so many agencies involved, lapses can easily occur in the absence of strong leadership. It is promising to see the continuation of the Food Safety Working Group, which was established by President Obama early in his administration."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/12/white-house-touts-progress-on-food-safety/"&gt;http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/12/white-house-touts-progress-on-food-safety/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-3183403061292539461?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/3183403061292539461/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=3183403061292539461&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/3183403061292539461'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/3183403061292539461'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2012/01/white-house-touts-progress-on-food.html' title='White House Touts Progress on Food Safety'/><author><name>Guillermo Figueroa Gronemeyer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03313780844821766732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_fbMs7be7Gog/R1_RHBsEVII/AAAAAAAAAMo/C11fY0eQsa8/S220/Guillermo+Figueroa+G.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZUBaqFXX9wY/TwWdm99vYGI/AAAAAAAACjI/kXK8JuYUPyQ/s72-c/Obama.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-7310232039685361145</id><published>2012-01-04T10:48:00.003-03:00</published><updated>2012-01-04T10:50:44.331-03:00</updated><title type='text'>New compound to control many virulence genes in Listeria monocytogenes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pdCjvrRU410/TwRYcpwED4I/AAAAAAAACi8/mdfEwCBzAMo/s1600/Listeria+monocytogenes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pdCjvrRU410/TwRYcpwED4I/AAAAAAAACi8/mdfEwCBzAMo/s1600/Listeria+monocytogenes.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fluoro-phenyl-styrene-sulfonamide inhibits key bacterial virulence component.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Cantaloupe contaminated with the bacterium &lt;em&gt;Listeria monocytogenes&lt;/em&gt; killed 29 people in the U.S. this year in the deadliest foodborne outbreak since 1924, but the pathogen usually strikes in less public ways, quietly sickening an average of 1,600 people per year, according to the CDC. The authors of a study in mBio this week screened 57,000 small molecules to find one compound that can stop &lt;em&gt;Listeria&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;monocytogenes &lt;/em&gt;in its tracks. This needle-in-the-haystack approach has turned up a compound that could lead to novel therapeutics for listeriosis and other infections. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;  &lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Palmer et al. targeted an Achilles tendon for many Gram positive bacteria, the stress responsive alternative sigma factor “σB”, since it poses a small target that, when struck, could bring down the entire pathogen. In Listeria, the σB gene controls the transcription of more than 150 other genes, many of which contribute to virulence and survival inside the human host. After screening tens of thousands of different small molecules, both synthetic and natural, for their activity against σB, the authors settled on fluoro-phenyl-styrene-sulfonamide (FPSS), a compound that specifically inhibits activity of σB and doesn’t pack any nasty side effects for mammalian cells. This shuts down many of Listeria’s virulence factors and inhibits invasion of the intestinal lining. As a bonus, FPSS could well prove effective against other pathogens that rely on σB, including &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt; (the cause of a wide range of maladies, from pimples to pneumonia) and &lt;em&gt;Bacillus anthracis&lt;/em&gt; (the delightful bacterium that brought you Anthrax). &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;  &lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;The authors point out that FPSS could serve not only as a therapeutic, but also as a tool for studying the regulatory networks that enable &lt;em&gt;Listeria monocytogenes&lt;/em&gt; and other Gram-positive pathogens to invade and take advantage of the human host. An ongoing problem that has come to the public’s attention only when hundreds were sickened in the outbreak earlier this year, perhaps listeriosis is overdue for this exploration and for some new antibiotic therapy options.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;  &lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Source: mBio ASM, 2012, &lt;a href="http://mbio.asm.org/content/2/6/e00241-11.executive-summary"&gt;http://mbio.asm.org/content/2/6/e00241-11.executive-summary&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-7310232039685361145?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/7310232039685361145/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=7310232039685361145&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/7310232039685361145'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/7310232039685361145'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-compound-to-control-many-virulence.html' title='New compound to control many virulence genes in Listeria monocytogenes'/><author><name>Guillermo Figueroa Gronemeyer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03313780844821766732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_fbMs7be7Gog/R1_RHBsEVII/AAAAAAAAAMo/C11fY0eQsa8/S220/Guillermo+Figueroa+G.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pdCjvrRU410/TwRYcpwED4I/AAAAAAAACi8/mdfEwCBzAMo/s72-c/Listeria+monocytogenes.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-4722372975564234885</id><published>2011-12-22T12:38:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2011-12-22T13:40:08.450-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Walmart recalls powdered milk formula after baby's death</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nEl29Xlpk3c/TvNO0SBlO3I/AAAAAAAACiw/2BfhewssnXk/s1600/Leche+infantil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nEl29Xlpk3c/TvNO0SBlO3I/AAAAAAAACiw/2BfhewssnXk/s1600/Leche+infantil.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Cronobacter sakazakii&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt; was found in the infant formula&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;As Missouri public health officials investigate the death of a 10-day-old infant who may have succumbed to a rare &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Cronobacter sakazakii&lt;/i&gt; (C. sakazakii) infection, Walmart said it is recalling a single batch of Enfamil powdered infant formula from its stores as a cautionary measure.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Walmart announced that it was removing 12.5-ounce cans Enfamil Newborn powder with lot number ZP1K7G from 3,000 stores in 49 states. It's not clear if other retailers also may have powdered formula from that same lot on their shelves. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;According to the Lebanon Daily Record, baby Avery Cornett died Sunday after he was removed from life support. The preliminary diagnosis was an infection with the bacterium &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Cronobacter sakazakii &lt;/i&gt;(formerly called Enterobacter sakazakii) a rare cause of bloodstream and central nervous system infections in infants. The fatality rate among infected newborns has been reported to be as high as 33 percent.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;What caused the Missouri baby's infection is yet unknown, but there has been compelling evidence in other cases of &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;C. sakazakii&lt;/i&gt; that milk-based powdered infant formulas served as the source. World Health Organization guidelines advise that parents should be aware "that powdered infant formula is not a sterile product and may be contaminated."&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Mead Johnson, manufacturer of Enfamil, said it is working with health authorities to identify the source of the Lebanon, MO, baby's infection. A spokesperson told local reporters that the company tests ingredients and finished powdered infant formula products for C. sakazakii, and that the batch used by the child's family tested negative for the bacterium when it was produced and packaged.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Gena Terlizzi, with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, told local media in a statement that "at this point it has not been determined whether the bacteria are linked to the formula or an outside source." The Laclede County Health Department sent the Enfamil newborn formula, water used to mix the formula and another liquid formula to the CDC and FDA labs. Test results are pending.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Walmart said concerned customers can return the recalled powdered formula from lot number ZP1K7G for a refund, or call 1-800-BABY-123 for more information.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Source: FoodSafetyNews&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-4722372975564234885?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/4722372975564234885/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=4722372975564234885&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/4722372975564234885'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/4722372975564234885'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/12/walmart-recalls-powdered-milk-formula.html' title='Walmart recalls powdered milk formula after baby&apos;s death'/><author><name>Guillermo Figueroa Gronemeyer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03313780844821766732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_fbMs7be7Gog/R1_RHBsEVII/AAAAAAAAAMo/C11fY0eQsa8/S220/Guillermo+Figueroa+G.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nEl29Xlpk3c/TvNO0SBlO3I/AAAAAAAACiw/2BfhewssnXk/s72-c/Leche+infantil.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-5018006934381696244</id><published>2011-12-13T18:48:00.002-03:00</published><updated>2011-12-13T18:54:41.704-03:00</updated><title type='text'>El arroz puede contener elevados niveles de arsénico</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HBVWFjKzVzg/TufJhUSjwkI/AAAAAAAAAs8/JlquhvWgeWQ/s1600/arroz.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685734628797956674" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 124px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 103px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HBVWFjKzVzg/TufJhUSjwkI/AAAAAAAAAs8/JlquhvWgeWQ/s200/arroz.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Exigen a Estados Unidos y a Europa a controlar el nivel de arsénico de los alimentos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;La ingesta de altas cantidades de arsénico se asocia con mortalidad infantil, reducción de peso en recién nacidos, problemas en la función inmune y cáncer de pulmón. El arroz podría ser una fuente de transmisión de arsénico del medio natural a los seres humanos. Un estudio, publicado en "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences", ha analizado las fuentes de exposición humana al arsénico y sus conclusiones demuestran que el arroz contiene elevados niveles de esta sustancia. Algunos estudios anteriores han relacionado su presencia en embarazadas con la mortalidad infantil, el bajo peso en recién nacidos, alteraciones en el sistema inmune y un incremento de las posibilidades de desarrollar cáncer de pulmón. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;La investigación, desarrollada por científicos de la Universidad de Dartmouth, se realizó entre 229 mujeres embarazadas de New Hampshire, a las que se realizó diversos análisis de orina. Las participantes fueron divididas en dos grupos, las que habían consumido arroz durante los dos días anteriores a la toma de muestras y las que no lo habían hecho. Los resultados mostraron que las 73 mujeres que ingirieron este alimento poseían 5,27 microgramos de arsénico por litro de orina, mientras que la analítica de las 156 que no lo habían hecho arrojaba 3,38 microgramos por litro. Por ello, los autores instan a Estados Unidos y a Europa a controlar el nivel de arsénico de los alimentos. Actualmente, China ya cuenta con una regulación en la materia, por la que prohíben niveles superiores a los 0,15 microgramos de arsénico inorgánico por kilo de arroz. El arsénico es una sustancia presente en el medio ambiente, muy común en aguas subterráneas. La preocupación por su presencia en el agua ya fue objeto de regulación, y la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) limitó a 10 microgramos por litro el contenido máximo permitido en el agua potable. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Fuente: consumer.es &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-5018006934381696244?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/5018006934381696244/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=5018006934381696244&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/5018006934381696244'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/5018006934381696244'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/12/el-arroz-puede-contener-elevados.html' title='El arroz puede contener elevados niveles de arsénico'/><author><name>Miriam Troncoso</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16154822850766426626</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HBVWFjKzVzg/TufJhUSjwkI/AAAAAAAAAs8/JlquhvWgeWQ/s72-c/arroz.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-6274522285313728324</id><published>2011-11-28T10:14:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-28T10:14:56.031-03:00</updated><title type='text'>New molecular test can precisely pinpoint food pathogens.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w4Qh3cx7zqk/TtOJLjnMOLI/AAAAAAAACig/tO3u40cEKRY/s1600/DNA+fingerprint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w4Qh3cx7zqk/TtOJLjnMOLI/AAAAAAAACig/tO3u40cEKRY/s1600/DNA+fingerprint.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Application of the Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) for food-borne illness.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;With &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Salmonella&lt;/i&gt;-tainted ground turkey sickening more than 100 people and &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Listeria&lt;/i&gt;-contaminated cantaloupes killing 15 persons this year, the ability to detect outbreaks of food-borne illness and determine their sources has become a top public health priority. A new approach, will enable government agencies and food companies to pinpoint the exact nature and origin of food-borne bacteria with unprecedented accuracy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;The standard method of tracing food-borne illness involves breaking up the DNA of bacteria samples into smaller pieces and analyzing their banding patterns (fingerprinting).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;But scientists often find that different strains of bacteria have common DNA fingerprints that are too genetically similar to be able to differentiate between them, making it difficult to establish whether the Salmonella that made one person sick was the same &lt;em&gt;Salmonella&lt;/em&gt; that infected another person. This was the case in a &lt;em&gt;Salmonella&lt;/em&gt; outbreak linked to salami made with contaminated black and red pepper that included 272 cases in 44 states between July 2009 and April 2010.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;By sequencing the genome of 47 samples of the bacteria -- 20 that had been collected from human sources during the outbreak, and 27 control samples collected from human, food, animal and environmental sources before the outbreak -- he and his team were able to rapidly discriminate between outbreak-related cases and non-outbreak related cases, isolating four samples believed to be connected to the pepper contamination.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;The use of genome sequencing methods to investigate outbreaks of food-borne bacterial diseases is relatively new, and holds great promise as it can help to identify the temporal, geographical and evolutionary origin of an outbreak. In particular, full genome sequence data may help to identify small outbreaks that may not be easily detected with lower resolution subtyping approaches.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;Researchers developed the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) test that is specific to the 2009 pepper-associated outbreak.

The aim of this work was to investigate the fate of &lt;em&gt;E. coli O157:H7&lt;/em&gt; on the phyllosphere of lettuce under low temperature and to evaluate the potential hazard of viable but nonculturable (VBNC) cells induced under such stressful conditions. First, we studied the survival of six bacterial strains following prolonged storage in water at low temperature (4°C) and selected two strains with different nonculturable responses for the construction of &lt;em&gt;E. coli O157:H7&lt;/em&gt; Tn7gfp transformants in order to quantitatively assess the occurrence of human pathogens on the plant surface. Under a suboptimal growth temperature (16°C), both &lt;em&gt;E. coli O157:H7&lt;/em&gt; strains maintained culturability on lettuce leaves, but under more stressful conditions (8°C), the bacterial populations evolved toward the VBNC state.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;The strain-dependent nonculturable response was more evident in the experiments with different inoculum doses (109 and 106 &lt;em&gt;E. coli O157:H7&lt;/em&gt; bacteria per g of leaf) when strain BRMSID 188 lost culturability after 15 days and strain ATCC 43895 lost culturability within 7 days, regardless of the inoculum dose. However, the number of cells entering the VBNC state in high-cell-density inoculum (approximately 55%) was lower than in low-cell-density inoculum (approximately 70%). We recorded the presence of verotoxin for 3 days in samples that contained a VBNC population of 4 to 5 log10 cells but did not detect culturable cells. These findings indicate that &lt;em&gt;E. coli O157:H7&lt;/em&gt; VBNC cells are induced on lettuce plants, and this may have implications regarding food safety.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Source: &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Laura-Dorina Dinu, Applied and Environmental Microbiology, Dec. 2011&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-7914802678936397227?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/7914802678936397227/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=7914802678936397227&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/7914802678936397227'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/7914802678936397227'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/11/induction-of-viable-but-nonculturable.html' title='Induction of Viable but Nonculturable Escherichia coli O157:H7 in the Phyllosphere of Lettuce: a Food Safety Risk Factor'/><author><name>Guillermo Figueroa Gronemeyer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03313780844821766732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_fbMs7be7Gog/R1_RHBsEVII/AAAAAAAAAMo/C11fY0eQsa8/S220/Guillermo+Figueroa+G.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MPNlXtDApeY/Tsp7Fw77qDI/AAAAAAAACiI/MtXU7mmSkSE/s72-c/lettuce.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-8401980430114630356</id><published>2011-11-21T11:17:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-21T11:19:23.233-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Researchers use phage to create a new paper- based packaging method to control enteric pathogens.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o6wT8i3TvKc/Tspcg8MEGeI/AAAAAAAACiA/RmgFXw9r2Qw/s1600/PHAGE4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o6wT8i3TvKc/Tspcg8MEGeI/AAAAAAAACiA/RmgFXw9r2Qw/s320/PHAGE4.jpg" width="243" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Specific immobilized phages can take over the &lt;em&gt;Listeria&lt;/em&gt; and/or &lt;em&gt;E. coli O157:H7&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;The recent &lt;em&gt;Listeria&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;E. coli O157:H7&lt;/em&gt; outbreaks associated with cantaloupe and raw beef in &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;North America&lt;/st1:place&gt; reveals that the current available methods and procedures for food safety are lacking to achieve full control of these deadly pathogens. New packaging approaches, by Canadian researchers from the Sentinel Bioactive Paper Network, for improving food safety are ongoing and offer unique solutions for biocontrol by using immobilized phage.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;To prevent these food-borne tragedies from happening in the future, researchers are using harmless viruses called phage to kill targeted pathogens (including &lt;em&gt;Listeria&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;E. coli&lt;/em&gt;) that could be present on the surface of foods. A phage, in simple terms, is a harmless virus that can kill bacteria. Phage use has received regulatory FDA approval in the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; as a safe food additive in certain food products, along with Health &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Canada&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; issuing a letter stating no objection for the use of phage. An immobilized phage can take over the &lt;em&gt;Listeria&lt;/em&gt; and/or &lt;em&gt;E. coli O157:H7&lt;/em&gt; bacterial cell and produce new copies of itself inside the cell. After the phage reaches critical levels, the phage breaks open the bacterial cell and destroys it, thus not allowing the pathogen to multiply on a food surface.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;Sentinel researchers published work in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology describes their method to stick phage onto cellulose material and explains when foods (ready to eat meats, raw meats) are wrapped in the package the harmful cells of &lt;em&gt;Listeria&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;E. coli&lt;/em&gt; are killed by phage that have been placed on the packaging. This packaging option works at refrigeration temperatures, at which pathogens can still grow. The packaging solution can be used for modified atmosphere and vacuum packaged meats. This is one of several technologies being investigated by the Sentinel Network, a NSERC strategic network that can help to make food-borne illness a thing of the past.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Source&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;:Applied and Environmental Microbiology&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://aem.asm.org/content/77/23/8272.full.pdf+html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;http://aem.asm.org/content/77/23/8272.full.pdf+html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Aporte: Fernando Fuentes Pinochet&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-8401980430114630356?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/8401980430114630356/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=8401980430114630356&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/8401980430114630356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/8401980430114630356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/11/researchers-use-phage-to-create-new.html' title='Researchers use phage to create a new paper- based packaging method to control enteric pathogens.'/><author><name>Guillermo Figueroa Gronemeyer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03313780844821766732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_fbMs7be7Gog/R1_RHBsEVII/AAAAAAAAAMo/C11fY0eQsa8/S220/Guillermo+Figueroa+G.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o6wT8i3TvKc/Tspcg8MEGeI/AAAAAAAACiA/RmgFXw9r2Qw/s72-c/PHAGE4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-541036124622881561</id><published>2011-11-16T11:32:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-16T11:32:36.944-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Obtienen nuevas proteínas bacterianas para controlar plagas agrícolas</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b4u6IGr1I_0/TsPJS9DsgcI/AAAAAAAACh0/erz5cwQVkDU/s1600/Bt+maiz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b4u6IGr1I_0/TsPJS9DsgcI/AAAAAAAACh0/erz5cwQVkDU/s1600/Bt+maiz.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: ES-CL;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Organismos Genéticamente Modificados prueban su adaptabilidad&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: ES-CL;"&gt;Una de las herramientas más usadas y exitosas para el control de insectos es la modificación genética de las plantas con genes de la bacteria &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Bacillus thuringiensis&lt;/i&gt; (Bt), que codifican para proteínas que matan a las larvas de insectos que se alimentan de esas plantas. Pero uno de los problemas que podría afectar a la eficacia de esta tecnología es la potencial aparición de insectos resistentes a las toxinas Bt.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: ES-CL;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;En el último número de la revista Nature Biotechnology, un grupo de investigadores, provenientes de instituciones de investigación de Estados Unidos, China, México y Alemania, publicó un trabajo que demuestra que un pequeño cambio en la estructura de las proteínas Bt permite vencer a los insectos que son resistentes a estas toxinas. Las nuevas toxinas, llamadas Cry1AbMod y Cry1AcMod, son efectivas contra cinco plagas diferentes, y pueden usarse solas o combinadas con otras proteínas Bt.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: ES-CL;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Según Bruce Tabashnik, que lideró el proyecto, “una determinada proteína Bt sólo mata a cierto insecto porque tiene los receptores correctos en su tracto digestivo. Esta es una de las razones por las cuales las proteínas Bt son una herramienta de control de insectos amigable con el ambiente”, explica. “Contrariamente a lo que ocurre con los insecticidas comunes, las proteínas Bt no matan a los insectos de forma indiscriminada. Los cultivos Bt (que tienen estas proteínas) no matan a las abejas, por ejemplo, ni a las chinitas, ni a ningún otro insecto benéfico”, agregó.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: ES-CL;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Para crear las nuevas proteínas, los investigadores estudiaron cómo actúan las proteínas Cry1Ab y Cry1Ac en los insectos. En particular, vieron que en el tracto digestivo del insecto hay una proteína, del tipo de las caderinas, que se une a las proteínas Bt. Esto tiene terribles consecuencias para la larva, porque esta unión causa la muerte de sus células intestinales. De hecho, cuando los científicos alteran a la caderina o impiden su fabricación, los insectos resultan resistentes a las proteínas Bt.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: ES-CL;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Para crear las nuevas proteínas Bt, hicieron por ingeniería genética nuevas versiones de las proteínas Cry1Ab y Cry1Ac, a las que llamaron Cry1AbMod y Cry1AcMod, y que son capaces de generar el mismo efecto en el intestino de la larva, pero aún en ausencia de caderina.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;

Por otra parte, la irradiación también ha demostrado su eficacia como tratamiento antibacteriano de la carne de ave y de otras especies ganaderas. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Un equipo de la Iowa State University (Estados Unidos) ha estudiado* cómo funcionan estas técnicas combinadas para eliminar a &lt;em&gt;Salmonella enterica&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Typhimurium&lt;/em&gt; de la pechuga de pollo. La sensibilidad a la radiación (valor D10) de esta bacteria en pechugas de pollo envasadas al vacío o con MAP con alto contenido en CO2-CO fue similar (0,55 ± 0,03 kGy y 0,54 ± 0,03 kGy). Tras la irradiación a 1,5 kGy, algunas &lt;em&gt;Salmonellas&lt;/em&gt; sobrevivieron tanto en los paquetes al vacío como los envasados con MAP durante las 6 semanas que se mantuvieron en refrigeración. El patógeno creció en pechugas envasadas de las dos formas e irradiadas, cuando se almacenaron a 25 ºC. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;El estudio demuestra que la irradiación es un método eficaz para reducir la población de &lt;em&gt;S. enterica Typhimurium&lt;/em&gt; en esta carne, aunque el sistema de envasado al vacío o con atmósfera modificada no mostró un impacto apreciable sobre la bacteria durante el periodo de refrigeración. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Fuente: Kudra, L.L., Sebranek, J.G., Dickson, J.S., Mendonca, A.F., Zhang, Q., Jackson-Davis, A., Prusa, K.J.

He might be able to return home finally this week, said Exley, 55, whose family is suing the farm with the help of Seattle food safety lawyer Bill Marler.&lt;br /&gt;"Shame on them," said Exley. "What kind of statement can I give you without being too angry? It shouldn't have happened. They had control over it."&lt;br /&gt;Investigators tested fruit samples and equipment from Jensen Farms and confirmed the presence of four outbreak strains of the listeria monocytogenes bacteria confirmed in the illnesses and deaths.&lt;br /&gt;The FDA said Jensen Farms, which is based in Holly, Colo., had recently bought used equipment that was corroded and hard to clean.&lt;br /&gt;For example, the equipment used to wash and dry cantaloupe showed signs of dirt and product build-up, even after it had been disassembled, cleaned and sanitized, the FDA's report said. The equipment had been previously used to process raw potatoes, officials said, which could have left listeria bacteria behind.&lt;br /&gt;In addition, a truck used to haul culled cantaloupe to a cattle operation was parked near the facility and could have introduced contamination to the facility, investigators said. Low levels of &lt;em&gt;Listeria monocytogenes&lt;/em&gt; in the field also could have introduced the bacteria into the packing facility. And the design of the plant allowed stagnant water to pool on the floor. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Source: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/CORENetwork/ucm272372.htm#report"&gt;http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/CORENetwork/ucm272372.htm#report&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-6178252815557670846?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/6178252815557670846/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=6178252815557670846&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/6178252815557670846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/6178252815557670846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/10/dirty-equipment-blamed-for-deadly.html' title='Dirty equipment blamed for deadly Listeria outbreak in cantaloupe'/><author><name>Guillermo Figueroa Gronemeyer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03313780844821766732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_fbMs7be7Gog/R1_RHBsEVII/AAAAAAAAAMo/C11fY0eQsa8/S220/Guillermo+Figueroa+G.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mKUpil12YqU/TqgUKdEZ_6I/AAAAAAAAChQ/pF3wVf_4RMk/s72-c/Cantaloupes+process+Plant.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-7450769447957627603</id><published>2011-10-26T09:38:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2011-10-26T09:38:57.159-03:00</updated><title type='text'>EEUU: Entra en vigencia nueva norma para protección contra el Bioterrorismo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-55DibhOjefU/Tqf-_X2pRfI/AAAAAAAAChE/Apx8sj6l5Sg/s1600/Barco+containers.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-55DibhOjefU/Tqf-_X2pRfI/AAAAAAAAChE/Apx8sj6l5Sg/s1600/Barco+containers.jpeg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Notificación previa es hoy exigible para todos los productos alimentarios&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Como respuesta a posibles ataques terroristas a través de alimentos contaminados la FDA (Food and Drug Administration) puso en Estados Unidos una nueva regulación que obliga a todo establecimiento que produzca, comercie exporte o venda alimentos debe estar registrado previamente con la FDA.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Además, todo cargamento embarcado o destinado a los EEUU, debe entregar a la FDA una notificación previa ("Prior notice") respecto a él o los productos alimentarios involucrados.

Adequate levels of nutrients like vitamin D are often difficult to obtain. But the particular compounds that we believe give broccoli and related vegetables their health value need to come from the complete food.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;The reason, researchers concluded, is that a necessary enzyme called &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;myrosinase&lt;/b&gt; is missing from most of the supplement forms of glucosinolates, a valuable phytochemical in cruciferous vegetables. Without this enzyme found in the whole food, the&amp;nbsp;the body actually absorbs five times less of one important compound and eight times less of another.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;Intensive cooking does pretty much the same thing. If broccoli is cooked until it's soft and mushy, its health value plummets. However, it can still be lightly cooked for two or three minutes, or steamed until it's still a little crunchy, and retain adequate levels of the necessary enzyme.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;Broccoli has been of particular interest to scientists because it contains the highest levels of certain &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;glucosinolates&lt;/b&gt;, a class of phytochemicals that many believe may reduce the risk of prostate, breast, lung and colorectal cancer. &lt;strong&gt;When eaten as a raw or lightly-cooked&lt;/strong&gt; food, enzymes in the broccoli help to break down the glucosinolates into two valuable compounds of intensive research interest -- sulforaphane and erucin.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;Studies have indicated that sulforaphane, in particular, may help to detoxify carcinogens, and also activate tumor suppressor genes so they can perform their proper function.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;Most supplements designed to provide these glucosinolates have the enzyme inactivated, so the sulforaphane is not released as efficiently. There are a few supplements available with active myrosinase, and whose function more closely resembles that of the whole food, but they are still being tested and not widely available.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;

As well as looking at our own genes, we can now include those of our microbes in studies of human health and disease. This is a significant shift in the way we approach human biology.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: ES-CL;"&gt;Normal gut microbes impact in our health by producing vitamins, priming our immune system and contributing to resistance to pathogens. For example, recent studies have shown that the insulin resistance of patients with type 2 diabetes is linked to the intestinal microbiota composition and can be beneficially altered by replacing it with the microbiota of healthy donors.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: ES-CL;"&gt;The genes of our gut microbes, also known as the &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;microbiome&lt;/b&gt;, act as a personalized organ that can be modified by diet, lifestyle and antibiotic usage. This organ is fed partly by us and partly by our diets. Professor de Vos and colleagues have classified the human microbiome into three enterotypes: clusters of microbiomes with similar compositions and nutrient-processing preferences. These enterotypes are characterized by bacteria with different capacities to degrade carbohydrate and mucin (a gel-forming protein). Our gut microbes get carbohydrates partly from our diet, whereas the mucin is produced by our own body.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: ES-CL;"&gt;Although these enterotypes are separated by species composition, it doesn't necessarily follow that abundant functions are provided by abundant species. To investigate the relationship between the microbiome and health, scientists must establish the functions of the products of their microbiomes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: ES-CL;"&gt;"We have evolved with the microbes in our gut, our microbes inside, and have discovered that they talk to us and we feed them with, among other things, the mucins we produce. We now are trying to unravel their functions and understand exactly what these microbes and their products mean to human health" said Professor de Vos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: ES-CL;"&gt;The size of one microbial metagenome (one host's microbiome) is 150 times larger than the human genome and encodes 100 times more genes than our own genome.

In most outbreaks of Salmonella, E. coli and other microbial agents, a disproportionate number of reported victims are very young or very old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The research seeks to quantify that increased risk, and concludes that in the U.S., UK and other developed countries, between 15 percent and 20 percent of the population are more susceptible to foodborne pathogens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vulnerability arises often because of immune suppression, through either disease processes or the medications used to manage them, and at the extremes of age or in pregnancy. The vulnerability means that fewer bacteria, especially foodborne or waterborne organisms, are needed to cause disease and increase the severity of the disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;The key strategy is a diet of food that is less likely to carry pathogens.

Además el&amp;nbsp;patógeno es capaz de sobrevivir por largos períodos en el medio ambiente, en los alimentos, en las plantas de elaboración y en biofilms en los refrigeradores tanto industriales como&amp;nbsp;domésticos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FUENTE: http://www.agromeat.com/45501/hallan-en-colombia-la-bacteria-listeria-en-lotes-de-salchichas-y-jamon-de-pollo&lt;br /&gt;Enviado por : María Patricia Cuevas.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-3300253368647014306?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/3300253368647014306/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=3300253368647014306&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/3300253368647014306'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/3300253368647014306'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/10/en-colombia-detectan-l-monocytogenes-en.html' title='En  Colombia detectan L. monocytogenes en lotes de vienesas  y jamón de pollo'/><author><name>Miriam Troncoso</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16154822850766426626</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DC9YJcobtlA/To4JZOK9yZI/AAAAAAAAArU/PxNsiKLaMHU/s72-c/IMG163685%255B1%255D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-1775504187593968947</id><published>2011-10-06T16:20:00.008-03:00</published><updated>2011-10-06T16:51:50.769-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Alerta en Francia por la  detección de L. monocytogenes en una muestra de oreja de cerdo cocinada procedente de España</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iXzJknLdz_A/To4GwSN4ueI/AAAAAAAAAq8/KZoKg3_CDq4/s1600/cf001%255B1%255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5660469208244861410" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 157px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iXzJknLdz_A/To4GwSN4ueI/AAAAAAAAAq8/KZoKg3_CDq4/s200/cf001%255B1%255D.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Las autoridades francesas avisan a la AESAN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;El pasado 28 de septiembre las autoridades francesas avisaron a la Agencia Española de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición (AESAN) de que en un control realizado por la empresa de distribución Leader Price en Francia, en una muestra de oreja de cerdo cocinada lista para el consumo, se había detectado la presencia de &lt;em&gt;Listeria monocytogenes&lt;/em&gt;. El producto objeto de la notificación es de la marca Regal Catalán, lote 07072011 y fecha de consumo preferente 05/10/2011.&lt;br /&gt;El producto había sido distribuido por la empresa mayorista Rousillon Salaison de Francia y distribuido por el establecimiento Carnes Esman, SL de Girona (10.13132/GE).&lt;br /&gt;La AESAN adelanta esta información el mismo día 28 de septiembre a la Agencia de Protección de la Salud para que inicie la investigación. El día 29 aparece en la prensa francesa la información para advertir a los consumidores sobre la presencia de &lt;em&gt;Listeria monocytogenes&lt;/em&gt; en el producto en cuestión y ese mismo día se notifica el caso a través del Sistema Coordinado de intercambio Rápido de Información (SCIRI).&lt;br /&gt;Realizadas las investigaciones en la empresa Carnes Esman y de acuerdo con la información facilitada por dicha empresa, el producto es elaborado por una empresa ubicada en la Cataluña Central. Carnes Esman manifiesta asimismo que el producto objeto de la alerta ha sido comercializado en su totalidad al cliente de Francia.&lt;br /&gt;Las investigaciones en la empresa elaboradora han permitido establecer que el lote afectado ha sido vendido íntegramente a la empresa Carnes Esman.

en melones.&lt;br /&gt;El miércoles, los Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) y la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos (FDA) de Estados Unidos advirtieron de un probable aumento de las víctimas debido al largo período de incubación de esta inusual bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;Una persona se puede enfermar hasta dos meses después de consumir un producto contaminado, señalaron.&lt;br /&gt;Los casos fueron reportados en 19 estados, según el CDC. La cifra anterior de víctimas, anunciada el miércoles, fue de 13 muertos y 72 enfermos.&lt;br /&gt;Aunque los únicos melones implicados fueron los cultivados por las Jensen Farms, y ninguno de ellos fue exportado a otro país, el CDC ha instado a los consumidores a tirar un melón si no se está seguro de su origen.&lt;br /&gt;"Incluso si comió parte melón y no se enfermó, tire el resto del melón de inmediato. La &lt;em&gt;Listeria&lt;/em&gt; puede prosperar en el melón a temperatura ambiente y en el refrigerador", dijo el CDC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FUENTE: &lt;a href="http://feeds.univision.com/feeds/article/2011-09-30/suben-a-15-los-muertos?refPath=/noticias/ultimas-noticias/"&gt;http://feeds.univision.com/feeds/article/2011-09-30/suben-a-15-los-muertos?refPath=/noticias/ultimas-noticias/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aporte: MARIA PATRICIA CUEVAS &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-3901470171235808895?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/3901470171235808895/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=3901470171235808895&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/3901470171235808895'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/3901470171235808895'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/09/suben-15-los-muertos-debido-melones.html' title='Suben a 15 los muertos debido a melones contaminados por Listeria en EEUU'/><author><name>Miriam Troncoso</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16154822850766426626</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U2-649jp8ks/ToY97U3GTjI/AAAAAAAAAos/9qA1O_OBv6c/s72-c/melones%255B1%255D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-3287820669504049812</id><published>2011-09-30T18:55:00.003-03:00</published><updated>2011-09-30T19:02:50.509-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Estudio señala que brote de aftosa en Paraguay habría sido un caso aislado</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-37Q1hUs8KAk/ToY8auYBatI/AAAAAAAAAok/SZbITM1I3gA/s1600/fiebre-aftosa%255B2%255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658276411660659410" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 102px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-37Q1hUs8KAk/ToY8auYBatI/AAAAAAAAAok/SZbITM1I3gA/s200/fiebre-aftosa%255B2%255D.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;No se han detectado casos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ya se han inspeccionado más de 15.000 animales en la zona de emergencia y, hasta el momento, no se registran otros animales con signos clínicos de fiebre aftosa, según explicó el Dr. Flaminio Acosta, director de campo del Servicio Nacional de Calidad y Salud Animal.&lt;br /&gt;“Los resultados provisionales que estamos obteniendo indican que el brote de aftosa en la estancia Santa Helena fue un caso aislado, hecho que ofrece un panorama alentador con miras a que el país recupere el estatus de libre de aftosa con vacunación y, de ese modo, volvamos a acceder a los mercados de la carne”, agregó el técnico.&lt;br /&gt;El rastreo serológico en animales de la zona, con el actual ritmo de ejecución, terminaría en diez días, al igual que la revacunación antiaftosa, añadió el especialista.

Known as the “Big Six,” the strains of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) include E. coli O26, O11, O103, O121, O45, and O145.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2010 was the first year in which cases of illness associated with the non-0157 STECs outpaced 0157, according to a study released by the CDC in June, although 0157 still appeared to be nastier. The non-STECs caused 451 confirmed infections last year, including 69 hospitalizations and one death. E. coli O157 caused 442 infections but far more hospitalizations (184) and two deaths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is one of the biggest steps forward in the protection of the beef supply in some time," said Elisabeth Hagen, MD, USDA undersecretary for food safety, in a statement. "We're doing this to prevent illness and to save lives."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The impetus for the decision came from the massive E. coli outbreak in Europe earlier this year, although the particular E. coli strain pinpointed in that outbreak, a rare variant, is not included in the new USDA ban.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The beef industry will be scrambling to deal with the new requirements, said Chris Raines, PhD, assistant professor of meat science and technology at Penn State University’s College of Agricultural Science. “I think one of the issues that we’re going to face is, at least in the short term, the availability of rapid-method tests,” he said. “There are only so many available. There are a lot of unknowns. Are we going to have to revalidate everything we do with 0157 for all the other STECs?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also Dr. Raines said that he’s been receiving many calls from the small and very small processors he works with about the rule. “They’re freaking out,” he said. “If they’re doing something custom for a farmer who brings in two cattle to sell at a farmer’s market, all of that has to go through the same process. Will it be a cost increase beyond what they’re already spending on testing, for these folks with much smaller batches? That’s a real concern.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente: The eUpdate, 9.27.2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aporte: Alejandra Avendaño&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-1773844436974687193?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/1773844436974687193/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=1773844436974687193&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/1773844436974687193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/1773844436974687193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/09/usda-bans-six-more-strains-of-e-coli.html' title='USDA Bans Six More Strains of E.

This slime forms on surfaces and builds up over time, allowing pathogens to flourish and leading to contamination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many industrial companies struggle with bio-film. Buildup and subsequent contamination can occur on any type of surface, often including food production machinery, membrane filters and pipes, to give just a few examples. The slime is a problematic and unpredictable source of contamination that is very hard, if not impossible, to remove with traditional cleaning chemicals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, a more efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly option is available—enzymes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cleaning in place (CIP) is a term denoting cleaning equipment such as pipes, tubes and other processing equipment on the spot between production runs. CIP does not involve mechanical cleaning action, only reliance on the power of the cleaner. In this particular application, enzymatic cleaning is the only way to get complete biofilm removal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Works on Tough Cases&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Biofilms have very strong chemical resistance, making them a very tough cleaning challenge. This multi-enzyme (from Realco’s enterprise) solution has been developed and tested to be effective against more than 60 different biofilms found in food processing plants, including the seven most difficult-to-remove bio-films, which do not respond to traditional cleaning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finding the right combination of multi-enzyme cocktail and detergent ingredients and then understanding how to integrate them into an efficient cleaning procedure took more than 3 years of work and is covered by a pending patent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente: &lt;a href="http://www.biotimes.com/en/Articles/2010/december/Pages/Saygoodbyetobiofilmwithenzymes.aspx"&gt;http://www.biotimes.com/en/Articles/2010/december/Pages/Saygoodbyetobiofilmwithenzymes.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aporte: Alejandra Avendaño&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-537747351809981744?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/537747351809981744/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=537747351809981744&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/537747351809981744'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/537747351809981744'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/09/say-goodbye-to-biofilm-with-enzymes.html' title='Say Goodbye to Biofilm with Enzymes'/><author><name>Pilar Sánchez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12993861035653607327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yJQaTczNlqI/TcmwXK_crnI/AAAAAAAAARM/qFVMFYf1tbo/s220/psanchez.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aeey-PawBe8/ToXPrGkYWSI/AAAAAAAAA18/cTTliXdFs7M/s72-c/biofilms.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-1414161285645320945</id><published>2011-09-29T16:34:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2011-09-29T16:38:02.360-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Retiran del mercado tomates contaminados con Salmonella</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0yRAmzkXD1Q/ToTJBkEEhzI/AAAAAAAAA1s/a6NPBrkvF7I/s1600/tomatess.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 231px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 166px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657868060581988146" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0yRAmzkXD1Q/ToTJBkEEhzI/AAAAAAAAA1s/a6NPBrkvF7I/s320/tomatess.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Andrew Williamson Fresh Produce, con sede en San Diego, está retirando del mercado un lote de tomates orgánicos, debido a la posible contaminación con la bacteria Salmonella, informó hoy RTT News.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Los tomates fueron distribuidos en 18 estados, incluyendo, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Nueva Jersey, Nueva York, Carolina del Norte, Oregon, Carolina del Sur, Tennessee, Texas, Utah y en las provincias canadienses de Columbia Británica y Ontario.&lt;br /&gt;El retiro se produce después que en pruebas de muestreo aleatorio realizado por el Departamento de Agricultura de Estados Unidos en Michigan, un paquete de tomates diera positivo a la bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comer alimentos contaminados con Salmonella produce salmonelosis, un tipo de intoxicación alimentaria.

This includes the on-site expertise of FDA and state of Colorado microbiologists, environmental health specialists, veterinarians and investigative officers working directly with Jensen Farms to find how the recalled cantaloupes became contaminated with &lt;em&gt;Listeria&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The experts are assessing the fields, the growing conditions, and the environment. They are also taking samples and will determine the most likely cause of contamination and identify potential controls to help prevent future outbreaks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm271879.htm"&gt;Jensen Farms recalled&lt;/a&gt; its whole cantaloupes on Sept. 14 in response to the multi-state outbreak of listeriosis. Cantaloupes from other farms have not been linked to this outbreak.&lt;br /&gt;The recalled cantaloupes were shipped from July 29 through September 10, 2011 to the following states: Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming.&lt;br /&gt;Because a shelf life of a cantaloupe can last about two weeks, it is also possible that some of the recalled product could still be in commerce or in home refrigerators. Consumers are advised to check with their retailer to find out where the cantaloupe they purchased originated. It is the retailers’ responsibility to know the source of their products.

La medida preventiva se debe a la detección de trozos de metal fundido en algunos de estos productos. Alex Stevens, Director Ejecutivo de Fonterra, dijo que la medida de cautela se produjo por detectar los trozos del metal, pero, por fortuna nadie ha reportado verse afectado por el material invasor. "El retiro es una medida preventiva porque la salud y la seguridad de nuestros clientes es prioritaria" afirmó.&lt;br /&gt;La medida se ha hecho extensiva a varias de las variedades de queso "Mainland" A pesar de que la empresa insiste en que sólo se encontró el metal en un par de productos se ha hecho anuncios varios a través de la radio y mediante carteles en las tiendas donde se distribuyen los quesos para que los compradores devuelvan todos los productos comprados en el último mes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Aporte: Lilian Rojas&lt;br /&gt;Fuente:

buscar una alternativa viable a la eliminación de subproductos animales en las empresas del sector cárnico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debido al escaso valor económico de los residuos generados en las industrias cárnicas, granjas, mataderos y curtidurías, y los altos costes ocasionados para su tratamiento y eliminación, se plantea la necesidad de buscar una alternativa técnica, ambiental y económicamente viable que cumpla con la normativa europea para la regulación de su tratamiento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este proyecto se basa en la degradación de residuos cárnicos de origen bovino mediante su biohidrólisis con microorganismos, obteniéndose de este tratamiento unos productos con efectos bioestimulantes y biopesticidas para su uso en la agricultura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El desarrollo de este proceso de degradación se está llevando a cabo en varias fases, pasando desde la demostración de su efectividad a escala de laboratorio, al establecimiento de las condiciones más óptimas en biorreactores a pequeña escala, donde se ha demostrado que en menos de 3 días es posible conseguir la degradación de los residuos cárnicos, y la fase actual, en la cual se está desarrollando un prototipo a escala industrial para demostrar la viabilidad tanto técnica como económica del proceso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si a este proceso de eliminación de residuos se le añade la posibilidad de introducir los productos resultantes en el sector fitosanitario, donde ensayos en laboratorio y campo han demostrado sus efectos bioestimulantes y biopesticidas, que colaboran a mantener la inocuidad de los productos alimenticios, nos encontramos ante un proyecto que desarrolla una nueva línea de negocio para las empresas de tratamiento de residuos, con beneficios económicos debido al bajo coste de la eliminación y uso de los residuos cárnicos, medioambientales como consecuencia de la no generación de residuos y cumpliendo así con la nueva regulación de la Comisión Europea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De esta forma, este proyecto biotecnológico innovador supone una solución para los problemas actuales del sector cárnico, ya que la eliminación de los restos animales pasará de suponer un coste a ser una fuente de ingresos económicos para estas empresas, evitando así la acumulación de dichos residuos que tantos problemas ambientales conlleva.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Golosinas de origen chino serían las causantes de lesiones a consumidores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La precariedad en la industria alimentaria china en temas de seguridad llega a España en forma de una golosina. Tras lesionar a una niña con quemaduras en la lengua, la Agencia Española de Seguridad Alimentaria (AESAN) lanzó una alerta nacional por la posible toxicidad de este tipo de golosina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La extensión de la alerta a nivel nacional se produce después de que la Policía Local de Algemesí, Valencia, haya encontrado en once tiendas 36 botes de golosina líquida fabricada en China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuentes de la AESAN precisaron que habían ordenado inmovilizar el producto en los lugares donde se detecte su presencia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este tipo de golosina podría contener algún tipo de producto tóxico y/o alérgico no determinado. El producto, fabricado en China e importado a Europa por una empresa de Polonia, se comercializa en formato roll-on con ilustraciones de personajes infantiles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un solo caso, de momento&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El caso se presentó el pasado miércoles 21 y fue atendido en primera instancia en el centro de salud de Algemesí en Valencia. Ante las denuncias del caso, la Policía inspeccionó el local donde se realizó la compra de la golosina y encontró 9 unidades que fueron incautadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las pesquisas en otros 10 locales arrojaron 27 unidades y desataron la alerta de la AESAN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La niña que resultó herida con quemaduras en la lengua se encuentra bien aunque todavía falta evaluar las consecuencias de las lesiones. Es el primer y único caso hasta el momento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente: http://www.clubdarwin.net/seccion/ingredientes/espana-ordena-retirar-dulces-toxicos-de-china&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aporte: Andrea Cuellar - Camila Garrote - Lilian Rojas&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-3221496806482615452?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/3221496806482615452/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=3221496806482615452&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/3221496806482615452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/3221496806482615452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/09/espana-ordena-retirar-dulces-toxicos-de.html' title='España ordena retirar dulces tóxicos de China'/><author><name>Pilar Sánchez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12993861035653607327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yJQaTczNlqI/TcmwXK_crnI/AAAAAAAAARM/qFVMFYf1tbo/s220/psanchez.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KH5VqM4Yars/ToMUz3NunoI/AAAAAAAAA1c/7aai33qeARo/s72-c/dulces%2Bchinos.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-6372220459663246640</id><published>2011-09-27T18:34:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2011-09-27T18:38:17.027-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Research leads to fewer tests on animals</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-01eDfhD4A50/ToJCHlcgatI/AAAAAAAAAn8/d0CkiqqeH4o/s1600/Research%2Bleads%2Bto%2Bfewer%2Btests%2Bon%2Banimals.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657156780008958674" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 95px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 95px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-01eDfhD4A50/ToJCHlcgatI/AAAAAAAAAn8/d0CkiqqeH4o/s200/Research%2Bleads%2Bto%2Bfewer%2Btests%2Bon%2Banimals.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;The UK is the first member state in the European Union to use this method as part of its statutory monitoring programme.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A recently developed method for testing shellfish for toxins, which can cause serious illness in humans, is being adopted more widely for use on oysters and scallops thanks to Agency research carried out by CEFAS.&lt;br /&gt;The previous method of testing for the toxins was a bioassay, which involved the use of mice. The new test does not involve the use of any animals and reflects the Agency’s commitment to reducing the use of animals in testing where suitable alternative methods are available.&lt;br /&gt;In recent years, research work commissioned by the Agency has led to the introduction of a chemical testing method using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) into the official monitoring programme for the detection of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning toxins in mussels, cockles, razors and hard clams.&lt;br /&gt;Work has continued, enabling the recent extension of the new method in Britain, on 30 August, for other commercially important species of shellfish, including whole king and queen scallops, oysters and four additional clam species. Efforts are being made in Northern Ireland to adopt the method for these other species.&lt;br /&gt;The UK is the first member state in the European Union to use this method as part of its statutory monitoring programme.&lt;br /&gt;Liz, Redmond, Head of Hygiene and Microbiology at the Agency, said: ‘The Agency places great importance on reducing the use of mice in laboratory testing. It has taken many years of research to ensure the new chemical test is as effective at protecting public health as its predecessor. This effort has been worthwhile and we are very pleased the new method can now be extended to such a large proportion of the shellfish market.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aporte: Carola Bernales&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.food.gov.uk/news/newsarchive/2011/sep/biotoxinmethod"&gt;http://www.food.gov.uk/news/newsarchive/2011/sep/biotoxinmethod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-6372220459663246640?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/6372220459663246640/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=6372220459663246640&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/6372220459663246640'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/6372220459663246640'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/09/research-leads-to-fewer-tests-on.html' title='Research leads to fewer tests on animals'/><author><name>Miriam Troncoso</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16154822850766426626</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-01eDfhD4A50/ToJCHlcgatI/AAAAAAAAAn8/d0CkiqqeH4o/s72-c/Research%2Bleads%2Bto%2Bfewer%2Btests%2Bon%2Banimals.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-61533427176779966</id><published>2011-09-27T18:29:00.002-03:00</published><updated>2011-09-27T18:33:59.306-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Investigan aguas de riego de hortalizas para evitar enfermedades entéricas</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wamvwJ-Jq4U/ToJBI7hdkJI/AAAAAAAAAn0/JMip2qIBaV8/s1600/Investigan%2Baguas%2Bde%2Briego%2Bde%2Bhortalizas%2Bpara%2Bevitar%2Benfermedades%2Bent%25C3%25A9ricas.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657155703603564690" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 190px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 121px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wamvwJ-Jq4U/ToJBI7hdkJI/AAAAAAAAAn0/JMip2qIBaV8/s200/Investigan%2Baguas%2Bde%2Briego%2Bde%2Bhortalizas%2Bpara%2Bevitar%2Benfermedades%2Bent%25C3%25A9ricas.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;El estudio está a cargo del Seremi de Salud y del ISP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;La secretaria regional ministerial metropolitana (Seremi) de Salud, Rosa Oyarce y la directora del ISP, María Teresa Valenzuela, comenzaron este martes una vigilancia y muestreo en los cursos superficiales de agua que se usan para riego de predios de hortalizas que crecen a ras de piso, con el fin de prevenir las enfermedades entéricas, tales como diarreas, Salmonelosis, fiebre tifoidea, y Hepatitis A, las cuales algunas de ellas se han incrementado.&lt;br /&gt;El control se realizó en el Río Mapocho, a la altura del Puente Santa María con Vivaceta.

&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Los bacteriófagos se han convertido en una de las armas más recientes disponibles para los procesadores de alimentos para usarse en la guerra contra las bacterias que causan enfermedades en los seres humanos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Los bacteriófagos son enemigos naturales de las bacterias y han sido llamados “depredadores de bacterias” por su habilidad de destruirlas selectivamente. Los bacteriófagos son ubicuos de la naturaleza, es decir, son comunes en todos los ambientes naturales, y consecuentemente están normalmente presentes en los alimentos y el agua.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En lo que respecta a aplicaciones en alimentos, los bacteriófagos se consideran un producto natural, lo que expande su potencial de usos a aquellos como los productos cárnicos procesados de forma natural, además de los procesados de manera convencional. Mientras que existen miles de variedades de bacteriófagos, individualmente son muy específicos. Esto significa que un bacteriófago particular atacará solamente una cepa o, a lo más, unas cuantas cepas de bacterias. Esto ha demostrado ser una propiedad muy útil de los bacteriófagos porque el bacteriófago específico para una especie de bacteria puede ser identificado, aislado y usado como un agente antibacteriano para productos alimentarios y una variedad de otras aplicaciones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debido a que no afectan los atributos de calidad de los alimentos, son inofensivos a los seres humanos y no atacan otras bacterias como las de descomposición de alimentos, los bacteriófagos tienen gran potencial como una innovadora manera de mejorar la inocuidad alimentaria. La especificidad de los bacteriófagos por cepas particulares de bacterias también significa que los bacteriófagos morirán y se degradarán una vez que las bacterias determinadas sean destruidas y agotadas del producto. Por lo tanto, los bacteriófagos son biodegradables y ecológicamente amigables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durante la primera mitad del siglo veinte se llevaron a cabo una gran cantidad de investigaciones sobre bacteriófagos, pero cuando se descubrieron los antibióticos, el interés sobre los bacteriófagos como agentes antibacterianos disminuyó. No obstante, existe la creciente preocupación sobre bacterias patógenas en los alimentos, como Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli 0157:H7, Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens, Clostridium botulinum y Campylobacter jejuni, que pueden sobrevivir a muchos de los procedimientos de procesamiento convencional o que con frecuencia contaminan los productos después del procesamiento, resultando en la necesidad de mejores métodos para reducir y controlar las bacterias patógenas en los alimentos. Esta necesidad es aún mayor en el caso de los alimentos naturales, porque muchos de los ingredientes antibacterianos típicos usados en alimentos procesados no pueden ser usados en estos productos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente:http://www.agromeat.com/43996/uso-de-bacteriofagos-para-limitar-la-contaminacion-en-productos-carnicos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aporte: Natalia Domínguez &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-4099750272450756863?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/4099750272450756863/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=4099750272450756863&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/4099750272450756863'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/4099750272450756863'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/09/uso-de-bacteriofagos-para-limitar-la.html' title='Uso de bacteriófagos para limitar la contaminación en productos cárnicos'/><author><name>Pilar Sánchez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12993861035653607327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yJQaTczNlqI/TcmwXK_crnI/AAAAAAAAARM/qFVMFYf1tbo/s220/psanchez.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7ciCkCW52G4/ToDiq0ye2AI/AAAAAAAAA1U/Ei15Kjs8Rw8/s72-c/Jamon.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-5906900961559059947</id><published>2011-09-23T17:00:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2011-09-23T17:03:33.752-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Intoxicación con alimentos  que contenían  pesticidas deja más de 90 víctimas</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RONzO2UYiDs/Tnzl5gtQhYI/AAAAAAAAAFY/-KR0K0Vxdno/s1600/10%2Bperu-intoxicacion-esc.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 156px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RONzO2UYiDs/Tnzl5gtQhYI/AAAAAAAAAFY/-KR0K0Vxdno/s200/10%2Bperu-intoxicacion-esc.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655648008265565570" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-CO" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color:black;background:#F2F2F2"&gt;Un caserío pobre de la región Peruana de Cajamarca ha sido víctima de un grave descuido alimentario que ha dejado hasta el momento 6 niños sin vida y 88 intoxicados que están en estado de gravedad, al parecer la intoxicación se debe a que los alimentos fueron mezclados en un recipiente que contenía residuos de pesticida.

Los investigadores probaron el aceite de cilantro contra 12 cepas de bacterias, incluyendo E&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;scherichia coli, Salmonella entèrica, Bacillus cereus &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;y S&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;taphylococcus aure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;us resistente a meticilina. De las cepas probadas, todas mostraron una reducción del crecimiento, y la mayoría fueron eliminadas por las soluciones que contienen 1,6 por ciento de aceite de cilantro o menos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-line-height-alt: 10.5pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;Este estudio no sólo demuestra que el aceite de cilantro también tiene un efecto antibacteriano, sino que proporciona un esclarecimiento de cómo funciona, algo que no se sabía hasta ahora. Los resultados indican que el aceite de cilantro daña la membrana que rodea la célula bacteriana. Esto interrumpe la barrera entre la célula y su medio ambiente e inhibe los procesos esenciales, incluyendo la respiración, lo que conduce finalmente a la muerte de la célula bacteriana, explica la directora del estudio Fernanda Domínguez.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-line-height-alt: 10.5pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;color:#333333"&gt;Los investigadores sugieren que el aceite de cilantro podría tener importantes aplicaciones en la industria alimentaria y médica. En los países desarrollados, hasta un 30 por ciento de la población sufre cada año enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos. Esta investigación alienta el diseño de nuevos aditivos alimentarios que contengan aceite de cilantro para combatir patógenos transmitidos por alimentos y prevenir el deterioro ocasionado por las bacterias.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color:#333333"&gt;Esto se produce según las investigaciones, a que se retrasan los procesos oxidativos que ocurren en los alimentos y por consiguiente incrementan sus beneficios para la salud.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color:#333333"&gt;Los investigadores han adaptado una nanopartícula de fitoglicógeno, un polisacárido soluble en agua, para que pueda añadirse a las grasas y emulsionarlas para que estas actúen como barreras a la oxidación, que es la causante de que los alimentos se pongan rancios.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color:#333333"&gt;Esta nanopartícula se obtiene a partir de una sustancia presente en el maíz dulce, según publica este grupo de investigadores en Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry y &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;han conseguido que la nanopartícula se comporte como un emulsificante con más capacidad de densidad que el resto de los emulsificantes, lo que le permite crear una mayor defensa frente a los procesos oxidativos. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color:#333333"&gt;Durante las investigaciones también se ha encontrado que la utilización de e-polilisinas añadidas a las gotas de grasa pueden reforzar la protección frente a la oxidación. Éstas son más pequeñas que las nanopartículas PG-OS y permitirían doblar la vida útil de lo productos. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;Este descubrimiento podría ser aplicado dentro de una amplia gama de productos alimenticios, donde los problemas de oxidación en los alimentos afectan a la vida útil de éstos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Se trata de la confirmación científica de que la bacteria "salmonella typhimurium" puede desencadenar con estos alimentos la salmonelosis, una de las más comunes intoxicaciones alimentarias.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Así lo indicó el Centro Francés de Investigaciones Científicas (CNRS), en referencia al estudio realizado por científicos de la Universida de Evry (Francia), de Giessen (Alemania) y Viena (Austria). Los autores del estudio indican que la salmonella accede a las plantas por la superficie de las células vegetales y entra por los poros de las hojas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los investigadores aseguran que las plantas contaminadas por la salmonella son muy infecciosas en las células humanas y se ha constatado también en células de ratones. En el ser humano, la bacteria de la salmonella inyecta con un apéndice, en forma similar a la de un dardo, un cóctel de proteínas que bloquean las defensas inmunitarias y favorecen la proliferación de la bacteria en el organismo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Lo que representa un nuevo desafío en términos de seguridad alimentaria y de vigilancia sanitaria". Ni los humanos ni los vegetales están indefensos frente a la salmonella, recordó el CNRS, puesto que ambos han desarrollado formas de detección del ataque bacteriano que activan sus sistemas inmunitarios respectivos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente: http://www.consumer.es/seguridad-alimentaria/2011/09/12/203223.php&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aporte: Camila Garrote C.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-4368138399600369319?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/4368138399600369319/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=4368138399600369319&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/4368138399600369319'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/4368138399600369319'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/09/salmonella-tambien-puede-infectar.html' title='Salmonella también puede “infectar” frutas y verduras y a través de ellas causar brotes humanos.'/><author><name>Pilar Sánchez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12993861035653607327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yJQaTczNlqI/TcmwXK_crnI/AAAAAAAAARM/qFVMFYf1tbo/s220/psanchez.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XFQpKhOMJxc/TnnlIwnEetI/AAAAAAAAA1M/-nX-iNWgqVs/s72-c/salmonella.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-7607417877225314630</id><published>2011-09-20T14:39:00.003-03:00</published><updated>2011-09-20T14:49:18.019-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Method Aims to Boost Eggs’ Defenses</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LFtBQXFlk1U/TnjQmhr1AQI/AAAAAAAAA1E/ON-fILUGA-g/s1600/hvs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 267px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 196px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654498692459462914" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LFtBQXFlk1U/TnjQmhr1AQI/AAAAAAAAA1E/ON-fILUGA-g/s320/hvs.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cooling system to control Salmonella could be nearing prime time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;A specialized cooling system that could strengthen eggs’ natural defenses against Salmonella is edging closer to market, reported the system’s developer, Kevin Keener, PhD, an associate professor of food science at Purdue University.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An enzyme called lysozyme found within eggs helps to defend the whites from bacteria. Freshly laid eggs are saturated with carbon dioxide and have pH levels of about seven. Over time, the pH level rises to nine and carbon dioxide escapes; as that happens, lysozyme activity begins to wear down and, with it, the eggs’ natural resistance to pathogens like Salmonella.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For nearly two decades, Dr. Keener has been working on a system that would cool eggs in the shell, boosting their bacterial resistance. His system uses carbon dioxide to rapidly lower the eggs’ temperature. His findings on a key element of that system were published in the journal Poultry Science in June&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We found that both pH levels and carbon dioxide affect the activity of lysozyme,” Dr. Keener said. “Manipulating levels of these two elements had both a combined and an independent effect on the activity of lysozyme.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Keener noted that a 2005 risk assessment report for Salmonella in egg products, published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety Information Service, shows that if eggs were cooled and stored at 45 degrees or less within 12 hours of laying—as they are in this system—the annual incidence of Salmonella illnesses in the U.S. would drop by 100,000 cases. “With rapid cooling of eggs using this process, you can bring the egg back up to the conditions it had right after the chicken laid it, and even extend its shelf life beyond the traditional four-week storage period,” Dr. Keener said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Keener said he plans to inoculate eggs with Salmonella to see if the carbon dioxide element of his cooling process has an independent effect that helps to prevent the bacterium from growing beyond just the impact of cooling alone. “We want to identify the mechanism involved, so we can enhance it,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente: The eUpdate,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aporte: Alejandra Avendaño&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-7607417877225314630?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/7607417877225314630/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=7607417877225314630&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/7607417877225314630'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/7607417877225314630'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/09/method-aims-to-boost-eggs-defenses.html' title='Method Aims to Boost Eggs’ Defenses'/><author><name>Pilar Sánchez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12993861035653607327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yJQaTczNlqI/TcmwXK_crnI/AAAAAAAAARM/qFVMFYf1tbo/s220/psanchez.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LFtBQXFlk1U/TnjQmhr1AQI/AAAAAAAAA1E/ON-fILUGA-g/s72-c/hvs.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-1177322208251624623</id><published>2011-09-20T12:19:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2011-09-21T12:31:28.452-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Spray para reducir tóxicos en alimentos</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-am63u0rbtJM/TniuozCIz2I/AAAAAAAAAcQ/7SBy6YMli7I/s1600/patatas-fritas1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-am63u0rbtJM/TniuozCIz2I/AAAAAAAAAcQ/7SBy6YMli7I/s1600/patatas-fritas1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-am63u0rbtJM/TniuozCIz2I/AAAAAAAAAcQ/7SBy6YMli7I/s200/patatas-fritas1.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Un sistema que funciona mediante un vaporizador eliminahasta un 98% de sustancias como la acrilamida en alimentos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Un grupo de científicos del Consejo Superior deInvestigaciones Científicas ha patentado un nuevo y revolucionario productopara reducir la presencia de compuestos cancerígenos en los alimentos.

En algunos casos puede pasar a la sangre y derivar en un cuadro de septicemia, que lleva a la muerte si no es tratado oportunamente con antibióticos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hace tres años estamos haciendo estudios para identificar grupos de genes específicos de estas bacterias, y cuáles de ellos son necesarios para causar el cuadro infeccioso. También estamos generando cepas que son menos virulentas y evaluando si éstas se pueden usar como vacuna", dijo la científico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sin embargo, añadió, la tarea es de largo aliento, debido a que la bacteria Salmonella ha aprendido a engañar al sistema inmunológico. Por esta razón el estudio genético de cepas virulentas, representa un importante avance, ya que ha permitido entender los mecanismos moleculares utilizados por esta bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente:http://inocuidad-alimentaria.org/noticias/71-salud-publica/1289-cientifica-chilena-desarrolla-vacuna-contra-la-salmonella.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aporte: Camila Garrote C.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-5050245837159867130?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/5050245837159867130/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=5050245837159867130&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/5050245837159867130'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/5050245837159867130'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/09/cientifica-chilena-desarrolla-vacuna.html' title='Científica chilena desarrolla vacuna contra la Salmonella'/><author><name>Pilar Sánchez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12993861035653607327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yJQaTczNlqI/TcmwXK_crnI/AAAAAAAAARM/qFVMFYf1tbo/s220/psanchez.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u2zdQvOyzUc/TniVpRB_2tI/AAAAAAAAA08/p3J4mxBnDIY/s72-c/vacuna.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-1312071892778666370</id><published>2011-09-19T19:21:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2011-09-19T19:23:43.473-03:00</updated><title type='text'>ESTADOS UNIDOS EMITE UNA ALERTA SANITARIA POR MELONES</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-msf9a3rPiq4/TnfA47rBNMI/AAAAAAAAAFA/lja17RlX5fE/s1600/9%2Bmelones.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right;

En esta época del año unos dos casos presentan el patógeno, sin embargo, en lo que va del 2011, hay seis casos notificados con la cepa y todos se concentran en el sector occidente de la capital.&lt;br /&gt;La directora del ISP informó que todos los casos están hospitalizados y se encuentran en buen estado. Cuatro de ellos son analizados por especialistas del instituto.&lt;br /&gt;La Dra. Valenzuela hizo un llamado a la ciudadanía a acudir a los centros de salud para realizarse los respectivos exámenes, en caso que presenten síntomas como fiebre, diarrea e intenso dolor de cabeza y a no someterse a tratamientos antes de conocer los resultados. Además, dijo que la población debe tener precaución y no consumir hortalizas crudas si desconoce su procedencia; lavar muy bien las manos y usar alcohol gel, de modo de evitar el riesgo de contraer la fiebre tifoidea.&lt;br /&gt;Aporte: Paula Ponzano Q&lt;br /&gt;Fuente: http://www.latercera.com/noticia/nacional/2011/09/680-392576-9-detectan-brote-de-fiebre-tifoidea-en-sector-occidente-de-santiago.shtml&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-1531324822677500104?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/1531324822677500104/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=1531324822677500104&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/1531324822677500104'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/1531324822677500104'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/09/detectan-brote-de-fiebre-tifoidea-en.html' title='Detectan brote de fiebre tifoidea en sector occidente de Santiago'/><author><name>Miriam Troncoso</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16154822850766426626</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MlqKlglC7Zg/TnOv4E5V95I/AAAAAAAAAns/CyF9Kw0g4h0/s72-c/tifoidea.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-4543556313682826055</id><published>2011-09-15T18:47:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2011-09-15T19:03:50.635-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Lanzan campaña para evitar Hepatitis A durante Fiestas Patrias</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aq_Rhgi56sw/TnJ2CqzTpLI/AAAAAAAAAnk/_6XIt5ORvqY/s1600/empanadas_pino.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652710270524695730" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 133px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aq_Rhgi56sw/TnJ2CqzTpLI/AAAAAAAAAnk/_6XIt5ORvqY/s200/empanadas_pino.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; A la fecha se han registrado 18 casos más de “Hepatitis A” que en 2010, por lo que el Ministerio de Salud lanzó la campaña “Elige Cuidarte” para evitar que esta cifra aumente durante las celebraciones de Fiestas Patrias.&lt;br /&gt;Lavarse las manos frecuentemente con agua y jabón, enjuagar frutas y verduras antes de comérselas, comprar alimentos sólo en lugares establecidos y consumir las carnes bien cocidas son las principales recomendaciones.&lt;br /&gt;Todas ellas permiten evitar el contagio del Cólera, Hepatitis A, Diarreas, Fiebre Tifoidea y &lt;em&gt;Salmonella&lt;/em&gt; entre otras enfermedades causadas por no refrigerar la comida ni desinfectar los utensilios de cocina.&lt;br /&gt;El subsecretario de Salud Pública, Jorge Díaz, insistió en la importancia de separar los alimentos crudos y cocidos y no manipularlos en las mismas superficies.

Without that analysis, it's difficult tomeasure whether or not policies to combat resistance are working.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The National Pork Producers Council pointed to the GAO report as confirmationof the group's long-held position that science does not back up the linkbetween food animal antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance in humans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the first section of the 80-page report, however, GAO explains howantibiotic-resistant bacteria can spread from animals to humans and provides anillustration of the relationship between use on the farm and human health. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Union of Concerned Scientists responded to the report saying it confirmswhat public health advocates have been arguing for years -- that not enough isbeing done to address the problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The GAO report discovered what we already knew. The federal governmenthas been sitting on its hands for years while farmers and ranchers continue tooveruse antibiotics, putting Americans at risk," said Justin Tatham, theWashington representative for UCS's Food &amp;amp; Environment Program. "Thescope of the problem is clear, and the solution is obvious. To avoid thisgrowing threat of antibiotic resistance, livestock producers must stop dosinglivestock with antibiotics for non-therapeutic purposes such as accelerating growthand preventing diseases due to overcrowded, unsanitary conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the report, GAO recommends that the Department of Health and Human Servicesand the U.S. Department of Agriculture work together to (1) identify andevaluate approaches to collecting detailed data on antibiotic use in animalsand use these data to evaluate FDA's voluntary strategy, (2) collect morerepresentative data on resistance, and (3) assess previous efforts onalternatives to identify where more research is needed. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Fuente: &lt;a href="http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/09/gao-agencies-have-made-limited-progress-addressing-antibiotic-resistance/"&gt;FoodSafetyNews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Aporte: Manuel Urrutia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-3266222151876884655?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/3266222151876884655/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=3266222151876884655&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/3266222151876884655'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/3266222151876884655'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/09/gao-limited-progress-in-addressing.html' title='GAO: &apos;Limited Progress&apos; in Addressing Antibiotic Resistance'/><author><name>Álvaro Figueroa O.

The new policy, which will extend to &lt;em&gt;E coli&lt;/em&gt; O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145, is expected to kick in in March.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The meat industry did not react warmly to the announcement, while consumer groups unanimously praised the move. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"USDA's announcement today that it will soon be 'illegal' to have six strains of naturally occurring non-O157 &lt;em&gt;E. coli&lt;/em&gt; in ground beef is premised upon the notion that the government can make products safe by banning a pathogen," said James H. Hodges, executive vice president of the American Meat Institute, the group representing the vast majority of the meat industry. "That view is not supported by science."  AMI believes the interventions currently used to eliminate &lt;em&gt;E. coli&lt;/em&gt; O157:H7 will work for the non-O157 strains and slammed USDA for adding costs that it said will eventually be passed along to consumers. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Aporte: Carola Bernales&lt;br /&gt;Fuente:&lt;a href="http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/09/usda-to-ban-six-deadly-strains-of-e-coli/"&gt;http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/09/usda-to-ban-six-deadly-strains-of-e-coli/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-4328137221569029726?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/4328137221569029726/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=4328137221569029726&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/4328137221569029726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/4328137221569029726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/09/usda-to-ban-six-more-deadly-strains-of.html' title='USDA to Ban Six More Deadly Strains of E.

En Chile no existe un sistema de control de inocuidad de alimentos al interior del país, como sí existe para nuestras exportaciones, exigido por los países a los que van destinadas. Este doble estándar es inaceptable por el daño que se produce en nuestra población, con productos que no son de exportación, como es el caso del huevo.Nuestro sistema se basa en un control ex post, después que se produce el problema, con multa y clausura de los locales afectados, sin un sistema preventivo que siga la trazabilidad del producto desde su origen hasta su consumo, siguiendo cada paso de la cadena alimentaria, para detectar los puntos de riesgo donde se puede producir la contaminación. Es cierto que existe la Agencia Chilena para la Inocuidad Alimentaria (Achipia), pero sin ley específica ni financiamiento que la respalde, a pesar de numerosos intentos legislativos.Esperamos que este caso de Peñalolén sirva para que de una vez por todas se implemente en Chile un sistema de control de inocuidad de los alimentos consumidos en el país, semejante al de países desarrollados que consumen nuestros alimentos exportados".&lt;br /&gt;Aporte: Lilian Rojas&lt;br /&gt;Fuente: http://www.elsitioavicola.com/poultrynews/22596/ex-director-inta-critica-sistema-de-control-de-inocuidad&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-1490171224288618101?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/1490171224288618101/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=1490171224288618101&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/1490171224288618101'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/1490171224288618101'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/09/ex-director-inta-critica-sistema-de.html' title='Ex director INTA critica sistema chileno de Control de Alimentos'/><author><name>Miriam Troncoso</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16154822850766426626</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-206gMNaOIwQ/TmksAQSDfnI/AAAAAAAAAnU/aXAaGbs_1Uc/s72-c/inocuidad%2Balimentaria.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-5916374030017704919</id><published>2011-09-06T20:56:00.002-03:00</published><updated>2011-09-06T20:59:37.050-03:00</updated><title type='text'>SE ENCUENTRAN DIOXINAS EN HUEVOS ORGÁNICOS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9TiqceUWdKM/Tmaz1sp-w5I/AAAAAAAAAEo/kL2d4UZTIoI/s1600/8%2Bhuevos.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right;

&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Investigadores trabajan hace tres años en su desarrollo y ya la probaron con éxito en animales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mucho de los restaurantes de la capital tienen como de su éxito gastronómico la mayonesa, cuya confección artesanal le otorga un adictivo sabor. Pero una intoxicación masiva revivió un viejo fantasma sanitario en el país: la salmonella.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exámenes determinaron que la letal bacteria fue la causante de la intoxicación de cerca de 40 personas -que sufrieron cuadros de gastroenteritis con diarreas, vómitos y dolores de cabeza- y la muerte de José Barra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Su peligrosidad para la salud humana fue justamente lo que motivó a científicos del Instituto Milenio de Inmunología e Inmunoterapia de la UC, encabezados por Susan Bueno, a trabajar en una vacuna que proteja a los pacientes de una infección de la bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para ello, y tras estudiar por tres años los genes de la salmonella, descubrieron que existen algunos que son los causantes de la virulencia de ésta y demostraron que su eliminación atenúa la gravedad con que ataca el organismo. No es todo: en pruebas en ratones comprobaron que estas cepas con menos virulencia lograron mejorar la respuesta inmune de los animales, es decir, los protegieron contra la infección. De hecho, del total de los roedores vacunados, el 75% generó muy buena respuesta inmune a la bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo que viene, dice la doctora en ciencias biomédicas, es determinar qué fórmula otorga mejor protección, hacer nuevas pruebas en animales e iniciar los análisis en humanos para corroborar su seguridad y efectividad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los expertos buscan llegar a una vacuna que pueda ser aplicada en una sola dosis -como la vacuna contra el sarampión- y que entregue protección a largo plazo, algo que no logran las vacunas contra la salmonella que hoy existen en el mercado y que son recomendadas para turistas que visitan zonas como India y Africa, donde la infección con salmonella es frecuente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para ello, deben controlar uno de los mecanismos que permiten a la bacteria engañar al sistema inmune para que éste no la detecte. En concreto, lo que hace la salmonella es generar proteínas que evitan que las células del cuerpo encargadas de activar la inmunidad lo hagan. Así, puede invadir la célula y mantenerse en su interior sin que pueda ser eliminada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo que hacen otras vacunas es intentar destruir la bacteria mientras que este nuevo trabajo en cambio busca eliminar la capacidad que tiene la salmonella de engañar al sistema inmune para que sea éste el que reaccione y la ataque.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente: http://diario.latercera.com/2011/09/04/01/contenido/tendencias/16-82545-9-cientificos-de-la-uc-estan-desarrollando-una-vacuna-contra-la-salmonella.shtml&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aporte: Alejandra Avendaño&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-5867780665469883675?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/5867780665469883675/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=5867780665469883675&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/5867780665469883675'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/5867780665469883675'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/09/cientificos-de-la-uc-estan.html' title='Científicos de la UC están desarrollando una vacuna contra la salmonella'/><author><name>Pilar Sánchez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12993861035653607327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yJQaTczNlqI/TcmwXK_crnI/AAAAAAAAARM/qFVMFYf1tbo/s220/psanchez.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iUwssQJF0nk/TmUhfYjgCGI/AAAAAAAAA0w/hJd59Ma35AE/s72-c/mayonesa2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-1198845381470154410</id><published>2011-09-05T10:53:00.002-03:00</published><updated>2011-09-05T10:57:54.734-03:00</updated><title type='text'>How to maintain Food Safety when electricity is not available</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5iI9Y6h_0-E/TmTUKnMSJwI/AAAAAAAACf0/nO9yAS7zBag/s1600/Refrigerator" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5iI9Y6h_0-E/TmTUKnMSJwI/AAAAAAAACf0/nO9yAS7zBag/s1600/Refrigerator" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;The basic tips for keeping food safe:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family: Wingdings; mso-fareast-font-family: Wingdings;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-list: Ignore;"&gt;Ø&lt;span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to maintain the cold temperature.

 &lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;La agencia de la ONU explica que 2008 marcó el principio de una renovada expansión geográfica del virus H5N1, tanto en las aves de corral como entre la avifauna silvestre asociado a aves migratorias durante los últimos 24 meses, según el Jefe veterinario de la FAO, Juan Lubroth.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;"Las aves silvestres pueden introducir el virus, pero la actuación de las personas en la producción y comercialización avícola hacen que se extienda", señaló Lubroth. Entre los países afectados figuran Israel, Palestina, Bulgaria, Rumanía, Nepal y Mongolia. Otro motivo de preocupación,&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;"es la aparición en China y Vietnam de una variante del virus que aparentemente es capaz de esquivar las defensas que aportan las vacunas existentes".&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;La circulación del virus en Vietnam supone una amenaza directa para Camboya, Tailandia y Malasia, a la vez que pone también en peligro a Corea y a Japón. La migración de aves silvestres puede extender el virus a otros continentes, alerta la FAO.

&lt;br /&gt;Los científicos han informado del desarrollo y del éxito de las pruebas de laboratorio de un "papel exterminador", un nuevo material diseñado para su uso en el envasado de alimentos y que ayuda a conservar los alimentos combatiendo las bacterias que causan su deterioro. El documento, descrito en la revista de la ACS Langmuir contiene un recubrimiento de nanopartículas de plata, unos potentes agentes antibacterianos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La plata se utiliza ya ampliamente para combatir las bacterias en ciertos ungüentos medicinales, en las superficies de la cocina y el baño e incluso en calcetines resistentes a los olores. Recientemente, los científicos han estado explorando el uso de las nanopartículas de plata --cada una de ellas con un tamaño de 1/50.000 partes del ancho de un cabello humano-- como recubrimientos antigérmenes para plásticos, tejidos y metales. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las nanopartículas, que tienen un efecto más duradero que las partículas de plata de mayor tamaño, podrían ayudar a superar el creciente problema de resistencia a los antibióticos, por el cual las bacterias desarrollan inmunidad ante los antibióticos existentes. El papel recubierto con nanopartículas de plata podría proporcionar una alternativa a los métodos comunes de conservación de los alimentos, como la radiación, el tratamiento térmico y el almacenamiento a baja temperatura. Sin embargo, la producción de un "papel exterminador" adecuado para uso comercial ha presentado serias dificultades. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los&amp;nbsp;científicos describen el desarrollo de un método eficaz y duradero para depositar las nanopartículas de plata sobre la superficie del papel que incluye ultrasonidos, o el uso de ondas sonoras de alta frecuencia. El papel recubierto mostró una potente actividad antibacteriana contra las bacterias &lt;em&gt;E. coli&lt;/em&gt; y &lt;em&gt;S. aureus&lt;/em&gt;, dos causas frecuentes de intoxicación alimentaria bacteriana, eliminando todas las bacterias en apenas tres horas. Esto sugiere su posible aplicación como material de envasado de alimentos para lograr una vida útil más larga. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente: PhysOrg &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aporte: Alejandra Avendaño &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-3071735670042192092?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/3071735670042192092/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=3071735670042192092&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/3071735670042192092'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/3071735670042192092'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/08/envases-de-alimentos-del-futuro.html' title='Envases de alimentos del futuro con nanoparticulas de plata'/><author><name>Pilar Sánchez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12993861035653607327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yJQaTczNlqI/TcmwXK_crnI/AAAAAAAAARM/qFVMFYf1tbo/s220/psanchez.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x65KO5i5JLQ/Tl5F8Pvta9I/AAAAAAAACfo/6qw1txSyugw/s72-c/Envases' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-762038541090855461</id><published>2011-08-30T17:26:00.017-03:00</published><updated>2011-08-30T17:41:42.629-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Food Safety: New approach in the EU</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gKnYR3QJKI8/Tl1HeZIS_iI/AAAAAAAACfk/wFZuUnXK3_c/s1600/EFSA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gKnYR3QJKI8/Tl1HeZIS_iI/AAAAAAAACfk/wFZuUnXK3_c/s1600/EFSA.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Data collection on&amp;nbsp;risks in the food chain&amp;nbsp;is mandatory for all EU countries and also include third countries&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was established in 2002 by &lt;b&gt;Regulation (EC) Nº 178/2002&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 7pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;d &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;of the European Parliament and of the Council as the European Union’s independent risk assessment body for food and feed safety. It has a dual mandate: the provision of scientific advice and technical information to support the European Commission, the European Parliament and Member States in developing measures to protect consumers; and, in cooperation with Member States and the Commission, communicating on risks in the food and feed chain in a clear and coherent manner to a wide audience of interested parties including the general public.

The Authority is also tasked with providing &lt;b&gt;recommendations &lt;/b&gt;to the Member States and the Commission on how to improve the technical comparability of the data it receives and analyses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;Furthermore, it stipulates that EFSA should work in close &lt;b&gt;cooperation &lt;/b&gt;with all organizations&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;&amp;nbsp; operating in the field of data collection, including those from applicant countries, third countries and international bodies, to exercise its mandate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;The process of &lt;strong&gt;risk assessment&lt;/strong&gt; comprises four distinct but closely linked activities: hazard &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;identification; hazard characterization; exposure assessment; and risk characterization. The third of&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; these – &lt;b&gt;exposure assessment &lt;/b&gt;– requires that the exposure of the consumer to a hazard must be&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; ascertained. In relation to human diet, this requires information on the concentration of the hazardous substance in the food combined with data on the quantity of the food consumed. Hence, &lt;b&gt;food consumption data &lt;/b&gt;are a prerequisite for risk assessment and the quality of the risk assessment is directly influenced by the accuracy, comprehensiveness and comparability of the available &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;consumption data.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.efsa.europa.eu/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;http://www.efsa.europa.eu/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-762038541090855461?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/762038541090855461/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=762038541090855461&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/762038541090855461'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/762038541090855461'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/08/food-safety-new-approach-for-in-eu.html' title='Food Safety: New approach in the EU'/><author><name>Guillermo Figueroa Gronemeyer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03313780844821766732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_fbMs7be7Gog/R1_RHBsEVII/AAAAAAAAAMo/C11fY0eQsa8/S220/Guillermo+Figueroa+G.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gKnYR3QJKI8/Tl1HeZIS_iI/AAAAAAAACfk/wFZuUnXK3_c/s72-c/EFSA.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-8984019700974221466</id><published>2011-08-30T16:08:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2011-08-30T16:08:31.239-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Contribution of different food and animal sources to human Salmonella infections in the European Union.</title><content type='html'>  &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WMn4rZc73Ek/Tl00gMux7bI/AAAAAAAACfg/TjpBsye5U0Q/s1600/Laying+hen" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WMn4rZc73Ek/Tl00gMux7bI/AAAAAAAACfg/TjpBsye5U0Q/s1600/Laying+hen" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;The laying hen reservoir was estimated to be the most important source of &lt;em&gt;Salmonella&lt;/em&gt; in the EU.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;Salmonella &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;spp. is one of the most common and widely distributed foodborne pathogens in the European Union. Surveillance programs and intervention strategies to control foodborne salmonellosis have been implemented in EU Member States, but a precise evaluation of the effect of such interventions is difficult, partly due to the lack of information of the public-health impact of specific sources on the incidence of foodborne infections. To identify and prioritize effective food safety interventions, it is essential to quantify the contribution of important food sources to the burden of human salmonellosis.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Two methods were applied to attribute human &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;Salmonella &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;infections to the responsible food animal sources in the EU, specifically a microbial subtyping approach and an analysis of data from outbreak investigations. Human &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;Salmonella &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;infections reported to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;Salmonella &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;serovar data collected as part of the EU-wide Baseline Surveys (BS) conducted in the period from 2005-2008, and data reported by the EU Member States in 2005-2009 including foodborne disease outbreaks published in the Community Summary Reports (CSRs) were available for analysis&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Results showed that the relative contribution of food-animal sources varied between regions and countries. The &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;laying hen reservoir&lt;/b&gt; was estimated to be the most important source in the EU, contributing with 43.8% (95% Credibility Interval (CI) 43.2 – 44.4%) of cases attributed to this source, followed by &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;pigs&lt;/b&gt; (26.9%, 95% CI 26.3-27.6%). &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Turkeys and broilers&lt;/b&gt; were estimated to be less important sources of &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;Salmonella&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, contributing with 4.0% (95% CI 3.8-4.3%) and 3.4% (95% CI 3.1-3.7%), respectively. A total of 9.2% of all salmonellosis cases were reported as being travel-related, and 3.6% of cases were reported as being part of outbreaks with unknown source. Nine percent of cases could not be attributed to any source included in the model.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Despite data limitations and the resulting uncertainty in the results, the obtained source attribution estimates are considered useful for delineating &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;risk management&lt;/b&gt; strategies. These represent the first indication of which animal-food sources are most important for human salmonellosis in several countries, and highlight regional differences in the contribution of different food-animal sources for disease and on the effect of surveillance and control programs in place in EU Member States.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Source: EFSA,http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/323900478827872922-8984019700974221466?l=chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/feeds/8984019700974221466/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=323900478827872922&amp;postID=8984019700974221466&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/8984019700974221466'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/323900478827872922/posts/default/8984019700974221466'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chilealimentosinocuos.blogspot.com/2011/08/contribution-of-different-food-and.html' title='Contribution of different food and animal sources to human Salmonella infections in the European Union.'/><author><name>Guillermo Figueroa Gronemeyer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03313780844821766732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_fbMs7be7Gog/R1_RHBsEVII/AAAAAAAAAMo/C11fY0eQsa8/S220/Guillermo+Figueroa+G.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WMn4rZc73Ek/Tl00gMux7bI/AAAAAAAACfg/TjpBsye5U0Q/s72-c/Laying+hen' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323900478827872922.post-5397430439772098231</id><published>2011-08-30T12:40:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2011-08-30T12:40:46.817-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Latest Information on GFSI Recognized HACCP Schemes</title><content type='html'>&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;o:OfficeDocumentSettings&gt;   &lt;o:AllowPNG/&gt;  &lt;/o:OfficeDocumentSettings&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:WordDocument&gt;   &lt;w:View&gt;Normal&lt;/w:View&gt;   &lt;w:Zoom&gt;0&lt;/w:Zoom&gt;   &lt;w:TrackMoves/&gt;   &lt;w:TrackFormatting/&gt;   &lt;w:HyphenationZone&gt;21&lt;/w:HyphenationZone&gt;   &lt;w:PunctuationKerning/&gt;   &lt;w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/&gt;   &lt;w:SaveIfXMLInvalid&gt;false&lt;/w:SaveIfXMLInvalid&gt;   &lt;w:IgnoreMixedContent&gt;false&lt;/w:IgnoreMixedContent&gt;   &lt;w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText&gt;false&lt;/w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText&gt;   &lt;w:DoNotPromoteQF/&gt;   &lt;w:LidThemeOther&gt;ES-CL&lt;/w:LidThemeOther&gt;   &lt;w:LidThemeAsian&gt;X-NONE&lt;/w:LidThemeAsian&gt;   &lt;w:LidThemeComplexScript&gt;X-NONE&lt;/w:LidThemeComplexScript&gt;   &lt;w:Compatibility&gt;    &lt;w:BreakWrappedTables/&gt;    &lt;w:SnapToGridInCell/&gt;    &lt;w:WrapTextWithPunct/&gt;    &lt;w:UseAsianBreakRules/&gt;    &lt;w:DontGrowAutofit/&gt;    &lt;w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/&gt;    &lt;w:EnableOpenTypeKerning/&gt;    &lt;w:DontFlipMirrorIndents/&gt;    &lt;w:OverrideTableStyleHps/&gt;   &lt;/w:Compatibility&gt;   &lt;m:mathPr&gt;    &lt;m:mathFont m:
