Variation in food availability can shape host susceptibility and pathogen virulence, thereby impacting disease outcomes. An ad libitum diet may enhance host physiology and immunity but it can also favor pathogen proliferation. Here, we investigated how food availability (ad libitum vs. starvation...
The food safety landscape faces a significant challenge from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a virulent and antibiotic-resistant foodborne pathogen. This study investigates the antimicrobial properties and mechanisms of cell-free supernatant (CFS) from Bifidobacterium longum F...
