Blood-lysing solution nontoxic to pathogenic bacteria

Draft Bacteriophages : The possible solution to treat pathogenic bacteria

Alga-lysing bioreactor and dominant bacteria strain.

Alga-lysing bacteria have been paid much attention to in recent years. In this study, the alga-lysing strain P05 which was isolated from an immobilizing biosystem was immobilized by coke and elastic filler, forming two biological reactors. The removal efficiencies of algae, NH4(+)-N and organic matter using the two reactors were studied. The results showed that strain P05 was an ideal algal-lys...

Predatory bacteria are nontoxic to the rabbit ocular surface

Given the increasing emergence of antimicrobial resistant microbes and the near absent development of new antibiotic classes, innovative new therapeutic approaches to address this global problem are necessary. The use of predatory bacteria, bacteria that prey upon other bacteria, is gaining interest as an "out of the box" therapeutic treatment for multidrug resistant pathogenic bacterial infect...

Antimicrobial Effect of Lactic Acid Bacteria against Common Pathogenic Bacteria

Abstract       Background and Objective: Probiotics are living microorganisms that have beneficial effects on the health of digestive system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial ability of acidic and neutral supernatants (culture supernatant) of lactic acid bacteria against common bacterial pathogens.        Meth...

Using biofunctionalized nanoparticles to probe pathogenic bacteria.

In this paper, we report a method for fabricating biofunctionalized nanoparticles by attaching human immunoglobulin (IgG) onto their surfaces through either electrostatic interactions or covalent binding. We found that these IgG-presenting nanoparticles can bind selectively to the cell walls of pathogens that contain IgG-binding sites based on the investigation of transmission electron microsco...
