Intermediate moisture food. Intermediate moisture foods (IMF) are shelf-stable products that have water activities of 0.6-0.85, with a moisture content ranging from 15% - 40% and are edible without rehydration. [1] These food products are below the minimum water activity for most bacteria (0.90), but are susceptible to yeast and mold growth.
Pathogenic bacteria. Neisseria gonorrhoeae (small red dots) in pus from a man with a urethral discharge (Gram stain) Pathogenic bacteria are bacteria that can cause disease. [1] This article focuses on the bacteria that are pathogenic to humans. Most species of bacteria are harmless and are often beneficial but others can cause infectious diseases.
Domains. InterPro. Cytotoxin-K ( CytK) is a protein toxin produced by the gram-positive bacteria Bacillus cereus. It was first discovered in a certain Bacillus cereus strain which was isolated from a food poisoning epidemic that occurred in a French nursing home in 1998. There were six cases of bloody diarrhea, three of which were fatal. [1]
