Journal ArticleDOI
The genus Weissella: taxonomy, ecology and biotechnological potential.
Vincenzina Fusco,Grazia Marina Quero,Gyu-Sung Cho,Jan Kabisch,Diana Meske,Horst Neve,Wilhelm Bockelmann,Charles M. A. P. Franz +7 more
TL;DR: Bacteria belonging to the genus Weissella are important both from a technological, as well as from a medical point of view, and both aspects should be taken into account in any envisaged biotechnological applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
PCR detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin genes in Staphylococcus spp. strains isolated from meat and dairy products. Evidence for new variants of seG and seI in S. aureus AB-8802.
Giuseppe Blaiotta,Danilo Ercolini,C. Pennacchia,Vincenzina Fusco,Annalisa Casaburi,Olimpia Pepe,Francesco Villani +6 more
TL;DR: Evaluation of the occurrence of most known staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) genes, egc (enterotoxin gene cluster) and TSST1 (toxic shock syndrome toxin 1) gene in both coagulase‐positive (CPS) and coagULase‐negative (CNS) staphyllococcal strains isolated from meat and dairy products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lactobacillus Strain Diversity Based on Partial hsp60 Gene Sequences and Design of PCR-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Assays for Species Identification and Differentiation
Giuseppe Blaiotta,Vincenzina Fusco,Danilo Ercolini,Maria Aponte,Olimpia Pepe,Francesco Villani +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that hsp60 can be considered an excellent molecular marker for inferring the taxonomy and phylogeny of members of the genus Lactobacillus and that the chosen primers can be used in a simple PCR procedure allowing the direct sequencing of the hsp 60 fragments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The controversial nature of the Weissella genus: technological and functional aspects versus whole genome analysis-based pathogenic potential for their application in food and health
Hikmate Abriouel,Leyre Lavilla Lerma,María del Carmen Casado Muñoz,Beatriz Pérez Montoro,Jan Kabisch,Rohtraud Pichner,Gyu-Sung Cho,Horst Neve,Vincenzina Fusco,Charles M. A. P. Franz,Antonio Gálvez,Nabil Benomar +11 more
TL;DR: The pathogenic potential of weissellas is investigated based on in silico analyses of the 13 whole genome sequences available to date in the NCBI database, and several virulence determinants such as collagen adhesins, aggregation substances, mucus-binding proteins, and hemolysins are found in some species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial quality and safety of milk and milk products in the 21st century.
Vincenzina Fusco,Daniele Chieffi,Francesca Fanelli,Antonio F. Logrieco,Gyu-Sung Cho,Jan Kabisch,Christina Böhnlein,Charles M. A. P. Franz +7 more
TL;DR: An overview of the major microbial hazards occurring in the 21st century of milk quality, microbiological risks but also chemical risks relating to presence of mycotoxins or plant toxins in milk will increase.
