Food safety for food security: Relationship between global megatrends and developments in food safety
Thea King,Martin B. Cole,Martin B. Cole,Jeffrey M. Farber,Jeffrey M. Farber,Gerhard Eisenbrand,Gerhard Eisenbrand,Dimitrios Zabaras,Edward M. Fox,J.P. Hill +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight how recent developments and trends related to food safety will impact the food sector and ultimately the ability of the sector to deliver food security, noting that each is a critical component in the global food supply.

rpoS Mutations and Loss of General Stress Resistance in Escherichia coli Populations as a Consequence of Conflict between Competing Stress Responses
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effect of losing rpoS mutants in E. coli populations and found that the mutation led to significantly higher expression of genes contributing to the high-affinity glucose scavenging system required for the hunger response.

Investigation into the antibacterial activity of silver, zinc oxide and copper oxide nanoparticles against poultry-relevant isolates of Salmonella and Campylobacter
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to assess the in vitro activity of silver (Ag), zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles against Salmonella and Campylobacter isolated from poultry.

Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of the physiological response of Escherichia coli O157:H7 Sakai to steady-state conditions of cold and water activity stress
TL;DR: The physiological response of Escherichia coli O157:H7 Sakai to steady-state conditions relevant to low temperature and water activity conditions experienced during meat carcass chilling in cold air suggests that E. coli, although able to transcribe the required mRNA, may lack the cellular resources required for translation.
