Modeling maize aflatoxins and fumonisins in a Tanzanian smallholder system: Accounting for diverse risk factors improves mycotoxin models.

Human exposure to mycotoxins is common and often severe in underregulated maize-based food systems.This study explored how monitoring of these systems could help to identify when and where outbreaks occur and inform potential mitigation efforts.Within a maize smallholder system in Kongwa District, Tanzania, we performed two food surveys of mycotoxi

Comparison of global transcriptomes for nontyphoidal Salmonella clinical isolates from pediatric patients with and without bacteremia after their interaction with human intestinal epithelial cells in vitro

Background: Nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) outbreaks of invasive diseases are increasing.Whether the genetic diversity of invasive NTS correlates with the clinical characteristics and bacteremia development in NTS infections remains unclear.In this study, we compared the global transcriptomes between bacteremic and nonbacteremic NTS strains after th
