Recovery of Mycobacterium bovis from soft fresh cheese originating in Mexico
Article Abstract:
A survey was conducted to determine the outbreaks of human tuberculosis in the United States caused by Mycobacterium bovis in fresh cheese products entering the United States from Mexico. The recovery of Mycobacterium bovis from fresh cheese suggest that human infection through the consumption of unpasteurized dairy products is possible and milk products also might serve as a reservoir for Mycobacterium bovis transmission to at-risk human populations residing in the U.S.

Correlation of phenotype with the genotype of egg-contaminating Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis
Article Abstract:
The DNA isolated from two PT13A strains with different phenotypes were compared in separate hybridizations to a genomic DNA microarray that was developed from sequence of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis PT4. The results suggest that the pandemic of egg-associated human salmonellosis that came into prominence in the 1980s is primarily an example of bacterial adaptive radiation that affects the safety of the food supply.

Detection of Salmonella enterica subpopulations by phenotype microarray antibiotic resistance patterns
Article Abstract:
A comparative study of three strains of Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis for growth in the presence of antibiotics is conducted. Antibiotic resistances are different for subpopulations of Enteriditis separated only by genetic drift.
