TL;DR: It is suggested that kefir consumption modulates gut microbiota and mycobiota in HFD-fed mice, which prevents obesity and NAFLD via promoting fatty acid oxidation.

TL;DR: The antimicrobial activities of the EPS produced by Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens DN1 (EPS_DN1) against Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella Enteritidis were assessed by growth curve analysis and it was found that EPS_ DN1 at a concentration of at least 1% was able to exert bactericidal effects against both pathogens.

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that RTE vegetables, sprouts, in particular, may play a role in spreading antimicrobial resistant bacteria and ESBL genes to humans.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the sensor developed in this study can provide an excellent screening method, with a reduction in the detection time from 48 h to 30 min after enrichment, thus saving time, labour, and cost.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-stage label-free aptasensing platform was developed for colorimetric detection of C. sakazakii in powdered infant formula, where the reduction of aptamers induces aggregation of gold nanoparticles in salt, a process accompanied by a color change from red to purple.
