Project description:The detection of dairy processing is pivotal to our understanding of ancient subsistence strategies. This culinary process is linked to key arguments surrounding the evolution of lactase persistence in prehistory. Despite extensive evidence indicating the presence of dairy products in ceramics in the European Neolithic, questions remain about the nature and extent of milk (and lactose) processing and consumption. In order to investigate past patterns of dairy processing, here we analyse ancient proteins identified from Late Neolithic Funnel Beaker ceramics, scrutinising the principle that curd and whey proteins partition during the production of dairy foods from milk. Our results indicate the presence of casein-rich dairy products in these vessels suggesting the creation of curd-enriched products from raw milk. Moreover, this analysis reveals the use of multiple species for their dairy products in the Late Neolithic Funnel Beaker culture, adding to a growing body of evidence that multiple taxa were exploited for dairying in the Neolithic. Alongside palaeoproteomic analysis we also apply lipid residue analysis, with discrepancies in these two approaches suggesting that effects from isotope mixing may be underestimating the frequency of milk use in prehistoric pottery, highlighting the utility of a multi-stranded approach.

Project description:Bacillus cereus group isolates from dairy products and dairy processing plant
| PRJNA288461 | ENA
Project description:The aim of the study was to carry out a CGH study utilizing a set of 39 diverse Bacillus isolates. Thirty four B. cereus and five B. anthracis strains and isolates were chosen so as to represent different lineages based on previous characterizations, including MLEE and MLST (Helgason, Okstad et al. 2000; Helgason, Tourasse et al. 2004). They represent the spectrum of B. cereus phenotypic diversity by including soil, dairy and periodontal isolates in addition to virulent B. anthracis strains.

Project description:Persistence of Listeria monocytogenes in retail deli environments is a serious food safety issue, potentially leading to cross-contamination of ready-to-eat foods such as deli meats, salads, and cheeses. We previously discovered strong evidence of L. monocytogenes persistence in delis across multiple states. We hypothesized that this was correlated with isolates’ innate characteristics, such as biofilm-forming capacity or gene differences.We further chose four isolates for RNA-sequencing analysis and compared their global biofilm transcriptome to their global planktonic transcriptome. Analysis of biofilm vs planktonic gene expression did not show the expected differences in gene expression patterns. Overall, L. monocytogenes persistence in the deli environment is likely a matter of poor sanitation and/or facility design, rather than isolates’ biofilm-forming capacity, sanitizer tolerance, or genomic content

Project description:In postpartum dairy cows, subclinical endometritis (SCE) is characterized by persistent endometrial inflammation, which exerts profound detrimental effects on subsequent reproductive performance. So far, transcriptomic studies related to this condition were either based on biopsy-derived whole endometrium tissue or endometrial swab/cytobrush samples, thus neglecting cell type-specific variations in gene expression. This study tested the hypothesis that different endometrial health statuses are associated with distinct transcription profiles of endometrial stromal, glandular and luminal epithelial cells. In conclusion, this study evidences that endometrial inflammation recovery or persistence is associated with gene expression patterns involved in immune function, tissue remodelling, and uterine receptivity in a cell type-specific manner. Identifying these signatures may prove instrumental to developing novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets, either to prevent persistence or speed recovery from endometrial inflammation, thus restoring the fertility of postpartum dairy cows.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is recognized worldwide as a major pathogen causing clinical or subclinical intramammary infections in all the dairy species (sheep, goats and cows). The present study was designed to comparatively investigate 65 S. aureus isolates recovered from dairy sheep and S. aureus suclinical mastitis from cows (n=21) and goats (n=22), for the presence of 190 putative virulence determinants with a single-dye DNA microarray and PCR. The probes (65 mer) were mainly designed from the S. aureus Mu50. The extracted DNA of each strain was labelled with Cy5. The microarray results were validated with PCR.The genomic comparative study with the DNA microarrays showed lineage and species specificity genes leading to the host-specific pathogenic traits of S. aureus in dairy species.

Project description:Unknown are the mechanisms of tolerance and persistence associated to several compounds in A.baumannii clinical isolates. Using transcriptomical and microbiological studies, we found a link between bacterial tolerance mechanisms to clorhexidine as well as the development of persistence in presence of imipenem in an A.baumannii strain belonging to ST-2 clinical clone (carbapenem-resistant with OXA-24 ß-lactamase and AbkAB TA system by plasmid). Interestingly, in A.baumannii ATCC17978 strain (carbapenem-susceptible isolate which carries AbkAB TA system by plasmid) showed persistence in presence of imipenem.
