PATHOGEN ORGANISM [8 records]

Record 1 2024-12-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Safety
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
  • Collaboration with the FAO
CONT

One of the key parameters to be considered in any thermally processed foods is the target organism, which could be a pathogen or spoilage organism, which should be adequately reduced by the process.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Salubrité alimentaire
  • Techniques industrielles
  • Collaboration avec la FAO
CONT

Bacillus cereus, responsable de toxi-infections alimentaires, est un contaminant fréquent des aliments traités thermiquement.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Inocuidad Alimentaria
  • Procesos y técnicas industriales
  • Colaboración con la FAO
CONT

Como la deterioración de alimentos tratados térmicamente puede derivar de una mala manipulación de la materia prima antes de la elaboración, de un tratamiento insuficiente o de contaminación por infiltración después del tratamiento térmico, los procedimientos para establecer la causa de la deterioración no deben limitarse al examen del alimento para descubrir microorganismos viables.

Record 2 2020-06-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
  • Genetics
  • Information Technology (Informatics)
CONT

Reverse vaccinology is defined as the process of vaccine development where the novel antigens of a virus or organism are identified by analyzing the genomic information of that particular organism or virus. In reverse vaccinology, various tools of bioinformatics are used for identifying the novel antigens useful for vaccine development by dissecting the genome as well as for studying the genetic makeup of a pathogen.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
  • Génétique
  • Technologie de l'information (Informatique)
CONT

La vaccinologie inverse identifie des gènes exploitables. Une fois identifiés, les gènes «exploitables» peuvent être combinés entre eux, puis introduits dans un organisme capable de se multiplier rapidement – une levure par exemple –, afin de produire des candidats antigènes. Ces derniers seront ensuite triés en fonction de leur aptitude à susciter des réponses immunitaires protectrices.

Record 3 2011-02-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Law of Evidence
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
  • Epidemiology
DEF

... a scientific discipline dedicated to analysing evidence from a bioterrorism act, biocrime, or inadvertent microorganism [OR] toxin release for attribution purposes.

CONT

Microbial forensics combines principles of public health epidemiology and law enforcement to identify patterns in a disease outbreak, determine which pathogen may be involved, and trace the organism to its source.

CONT

Bioforensics, which is sometimes referred to as microbial forensics, or as forensic microbiology, is a developing interdisciplinary field of microbiology devoted to the development, assessment, and validation of methods for fully characterizing microbial samples for the ultimate purpose of high-confidence comparative analyses. It supports attribution investigations involving pathogens or toxins of biological origin used in a biological attack.

OBS

... the ultimate goal of attribution is identification of the persons who committed the bioterrorist act or biocrime, intentionally or inadvertently. In addition to microbiological analytical tools, traditional forensic analyses, such as human DNA analysis, dermatoglyphic patterns, analytical chemistry, tool marks, and other techniques will be used to analyze a bioterrorist event or biocrime evidence.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit de la preuve
  • Microbiologie et parasitologie
  • Épidémiologie
CONT

La microbiologie médicolégale est une discipline scientifique relativement récente qui consiste à analyser les données microbiologiques afin d'identifier les coupables d'un crime. Elle se fonde sur la microbiologie et l'épidémiologie classiques, mais dans un cadre juridique.

Record 6 2001-03-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Crop Protection

Domaine(s)
  • Protection des végétaux
DEF

Pesticide (en particulier fongicide) utilisé pour éliminer un pathogène d'un hôte ou d'un milieu, qui tue généralement l'organisme à la source avant qu'il ait pu atteindre son hôte.
