Toxin production of Vibrio spp. (Project)
The main task of the NRL for bacterial contaminations of shellfish is to identify pathogenic bacteria and to carry out a risk assessment of these bacteria. Bacteria of the genus Vibrio are frequently isolated when seafood is investigated for bacterial pathogens. In this project real-time PCR methods and immunological methods will be developed to study the ability of Vibrio strains for toxin...

Application of bacteriophages for the detection and isolation of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica strains in food (Project)
Yersinioses are the third most frequent gastrointestinal diseases caused by bacteria in Germany. The main route of infection occurs via contaminated pork. The majority of Yersinia strains isolated from human samples belong to the Y. enterocolitica biotype B4/serotype O3, whereas Y. pseudotuberculosis strains are only occasionally found. Detection of a bacterial (Yersinia) contamination in food...

Collaborative project: Development of a rapid chlorophyll fluorescence imaging-based early-detection method of mildew-resistant lettuce lines – Subproject 3 (Project)
In this project, an effective non-invasive method for rapid and early detection and evaluation of downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) resistance in young lettuce plants will be developed. Photosynthetic activity is a proven indicator for early detection of impairment of plants. Especially chlorophyll fluorescence imaging (CFI) is well suited for non-invasive measurement of photosynthetic efficiency....

Investigation of food products illegally introduced into Germany by airport luggage for the presence of the non-endemic pathogens Brucella and ('2010:Trichinella'). (Project)
Commission regulation (EC) No 745/2004 requires that Member States ensure that no products destined for human consumption are introduced into the Community from a third country without having been subjected to the appropriate veterinary checks. Regardless, approx. 17500kg illegal food products are confiscated yearly at the Frankfurt International Airport. The import of such potentially...

2010: Development and validation of an ELISA for the detection of Leptospira infection (Project)
The direct detection of leptospires is laborious and time consuming. Therefore, infection in man and animal is diagnosed by detection of specific antibodies with serological methods. Currently the micro agglutination test (MAT) is the standard method for the diagnosis of leptospirosis. However, the test is time consuming and only achieves a sensitivity of about 50%. An ELISA for the detection of...

Characterization of biofilm formation by Listeria monocytogenes (Project)
Contamination of food during the processing is supposed to be the main cause of human infections with L. monocytogenes. The biofilm formation by L. monocytogenes on several distinct surface materials of food processing plant may be a potential source of contamination.There is a variety of studies concerning biofilm formation by L. monocytogenes especially those for the serotypes 4b, 1/2b and 1/2a...

Generation of norovirus-like particles as antigen for the development of detection systems for viruses in food (Project)
At present, the reliable and sensitive detection of viruses in food is the limiting step in attempts to verify food-borne infections and to determine criteria for the virological safety of foods. Especially, the concentration and purification of viruses from foods is difficult due to low amounts of virus within the food and the presence of substances which inhibit the detection system. Recently,...
