Sanitization is defined as the removal of soil deposits and subsequent application of a sanitizer or disinfectant to reduce the number of residual microorganisms remaining in an environment. Sanitization may be achieved through use of physical (therm... Read More about Bacteriophages as Bio-sanitizers in Food Production and Healthcare Settings.

The microbiological testing regulations for cannabis products in Canada: Are they enough from food safety and public health point of view? (2020)
Journal Article
Sudhakar Bhandare. (2020). The microbiological testing regulations for cannabis products in Canada: Are they enough from food safety and public health point of view?. Journal of Food, Agriculture and Environment, 18(2), 42-44. https://doi.org/10.1234/4.2020.5672

Canada has recently legalised cannabis for its production, sale and usage in various ways viz. medicinal, recreational and edible. The Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) suggests that the microbial and chemical contaminants o...

Bacteriophage-induced lipopolysaccharide mutations in escherichia coli lead to hypersensitivity to food grade surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (2020)
Journal Article
Zhong, Z., Emond-Rheault, J. G., Bhandare, S., Lévesque, R., & Goodridge, L. (2020). Bacteriophage-induced lipopolysaccharide mutations in escherichia coli lead to hypersensitivity to food grade surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate. Antibiotics, 9(9), Article 552. https://doi.org/10.3390/antibiotics9090552

Bacteriophages (phages) are considered as one of the most promising antibiotic alternatives in combatting bacterial infectious diseases. However, one concern of employing phage application is the emergence of bacteriophage-insensitive mutants (BIMs)....
