S. Enteritidis specific biomarkers detection with MALDI-TOF MS was achieved.

This protocol could be used in clinical laboratories for S. Enteritidis detection.

This study evaluates the potential of the K. marxianus strain to adsorb AFB1.

There are no reports of K. marxianus cell wall use as mycotoxin adsorbent.

A basic medium (YPD) and an alternative medium (DDG) were used as carbon source.

The DDG medium proved to be recommendable for biomass and cell wall production.

The composition of the cell wall was analyzed to evaluate the adsorption processes.

Stool samples from 122 children diagnosed with acute diarrhea were recollected for detection of STEC and EPEC pathotypes.

E. coli were detected in 68% of the stool samples, of which 18.8% were STEC or EPEC.

STEC O145 and EPEC O130, O113 and O157 were the serotypes detected.

DEC are not routinely tested in clinical laboratories and proper surveillance is necessary.
