The Germans who want the Wall back - Europe, World - The Independent
But when Germany marks the 20th anniversary of its reunification next month, the wealthy denizens of Potsdam will be celebrating the event behind bits of a new and self-constructed "Berlin Wall" that runs along sections of the old divide to keep the common public away from their luxury homes.

Isolation, identification and molecular characterization of Vibrio parahaemolyticus from fish samples in Kolkata.
Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci. 2010 Jun; 14(6): 545-9Pal D, Das NVibrio parahaemolyticus is a marine bacterium which is also responsible for acute diarrhoeal illness in human beings. Eating raw seafish or contaminated seafood is responsible for acute gastroenteritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the isolation, identification and molecular characterization of Vibrio parahaemolyticus from the fish samples in Kolkata, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study 90 fish samples were collected from 8 different market places in Kolkata, India. Fish samples collected were shrimp, prawn, bhetki, pamfret and hilsa. VP-toxR PCR was performed to confirm the presence of species specific toxR. tdh and trh genes PCR for detection of virulence genes were performed separately. GS-PCR was performed in tdh, trh gene positive strains to determine whether they belong to pandemic genotype. Serotyping was also done on the tdh, trh positive strains. RESULTS: Out of the 90 fish samples collected from different local fish markets 60 were positive for Vibrio parahaemolyticus. 21 (35%) out of 60 Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates from fish samples harboured the tdh gene. 1 (1.7%) out of 60 Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates from fish samples carried trh gene. Out of 22 isolates only 2 were positive for GS-PCR. O10:KUT was the serovar maximum isolated. CONCLUSION: Considerable percentage of Vibrio parahaemolyticus carrying the virulence genes and pandemic genotype among fish in Kolkata indicates that there is potential reservoir in Kolkata and consumption of sea fish or contaminated fish might cause Vibrio parahaemolyticus mediated diarrhea in this region.
Scientific and Technical Factors Affecting the Setting of Salmonella Criteria for Raw Poultry: A Global Perspective.
J Food Prot. 2010 Aug; 73(8): 1566-1590Mead G, Lammerding AM, Cox N, Doyle MP, Humbert F, Kulikovskiy A, Panin A, do Nascimento VP, Wierup M, Concerns about foodborne salmonellosis have led many countries to introduce microbiological criteria for certain food products. If such criteria are not well-grounded in science, they could be an unjustified obstacle to trade. Raw poultry products are an important part of the global food market. Import and export ambiguities and regulatory confusion resulting from different Salmonella requirements were the impetus for convening an international group of scientific experts from 16 countries to discuss the scientific and technical issues that affect the setting of a microbiological criterion for Salmonella contamination of raw chicken. A particular concern for the group was the use of criteria implying a zero tolerance for Salmonella and suggesting complete absence of the pathogen. The notion can be interpreted differently by various stakeholders and was considered inappropriate because there is neither an effective means of eliminating Salmonella from raw poultry nor any practical method for verifying its absence. Therefore, it may be more useful at present to set food safety metrics that involve reductions in hazard levels. Such terms as "zero tolerance" or "absence of a microbe" in relation to raw poultry should be avoided unless defined and explained by international agreement. Risk assessment provides a more meaningful approach than a zero tolerance philosophy, and new metrics, such as performance objectives that are linked to human health outcomes, should be utilized throughout the food chain to help define risk and identify ways to reduce adverse effects on public health.
