The rapid and accurate quantification of the pathogenic bacteria is extremely critical to decrease the bacterial infections in all areas related to health and safety. We have developed an electrochemical strategy for simultaneous ultrasensitive detection of E. coli O157:H7 and Vibrio cholerae O1. This approach was based on the specific immune recognition of different pathogenic bacteria by mult...

The actin cytoskeleton has been implicated in plant defenses against pathogenic fungi and oomycetes with limited, indirect evidence. To date, there are no reports linking actin with resistance against phytopathogenic bacteria. The dynamic behavior of actin filaments is regulated by a diverse array of actin-binding proteins, among which is the Actin-Depolymerizing Factor (ADF) family of proteins...

lactic acid bacteria (lab) are gram positive and non- spore forming bacteria that can produce some special substances for growth inhibition of pathogenic, non-pathogenic and food spoilage bacteria. the aim of this study was to determine the inhibitory effects of lactobacillus acidophilus ptcc1643 (dsm 20079) and lactobacillus plantarum ptcc 1058 (atcc 8014) cultural supernatants against urinary...

Ebonyi River basin of south east Nigeria is home to the freshwater crab Potamon ebonyicum, which are consumed indiscriminately by inhabitants and tourists. Bulk of the crab meat is obtained by crabbing. A preliminary survey of pathogenic bacteria associated with vulnerable morphological part of the crab species was carried out in the basin. Bacteria were isolated from abdominal flaps of the mal...

New approaches for treatment of infectious diseases in aquatic animals have important roles in aquaculture technology progress. In the present study, In vitro effects of different extracts of propolis, royal jelly and pollen obtained from beehives have been investigated on aquatic pathogenic bacterial isolates. The isolated bacteria identified on the basis of their biochemical properties and se...

Objective: Microorganisms are responsible for many problems in industry and medicine because of biofilm formation. Therefore, this study was aimed to examine the effect of Thymus vulgaris (T. vulgaris) extracts on the planktonic form and biofilm structures of six pathogenic bacteria. Materials and methods: Antimicrobial activities of the plant extracts against the planktonic form of the bacteri...

We developed a simple and effective polydiacetylene-based, label-free multiplex DNA chip for the detection of various pathogenic microorganisms. A novel immobilization method of PDA vesicles on glass slides was exploited using α-cyclodextrin (α-CD). The surface topography of the efficiently immobilized PDA vesicles was confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microsco...
