A cross-sectional study was conducted on street-vended food randomly from different areas of Kathmandu Valley to assess the number viable bacteria in street food, distribution bacteria, antibiotics resistance profile isolated Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), and Vancomycin-Resistant (VRSA) valley. Altogether 339 isolates were identified one hundred eighty (180) samples. The average mean ...

Isolation of pathogenic or opportunistic bacteria from surrounding environment, food products, animals and humans requires establishing their potential potential. In this work, the authors have studied 109 cultures belonging to species Serratia marcescens which: 61 museum cultures, 29 isolated small ruminants environmental objects, 19 dairy products produced on private farmsteads in Chechen Rep...

BACKGROUND Rapid detection and discrimination of bacteria for biomedical and food safety applications remain a considerable challenge. We report a label-free near infrared surface-enhanced Raman scattering (NIR-SERS) method for the discrimination of pathogenic bacteria from drinking water. The approach relies on the in situ synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) within the bacterial cell su...

Background: Microbial biofilms are responsible for many human infections and increase of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Therefore, finding an efficient way to prevent infection and biofilm formation of bacteria is essential. Medicinal plants are among suitable candidates to inhibit biofilm formation of bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of...

The C. elegans nervous system mediates protective physiological and behavioral responses amid infection. However, it remains largely unknown how the nervous system responds to reactive oxygen species (ROS) activated by pathogenic microbes during infection. Here, we show superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD-1), an enzyme that converts superoxide into less toxic hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, functions in ...

Sushi restaurants have become quite popular in Europe, with an increase in the consumption of the sashimi speciality. Pathogenic bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus have been reported in this kind of food. Controlling the presence and multiplication of L. monocytogenes is a challenge for food safety management systems owing to its ubiquitous prese...

the Amterican Journal of Surgery (102, 354:1961). To my mind, the Mayo Clinic experience with 1,181 cases, with the competent observers serving as authors, has done no less than provide a very workable and practical guide to cancer types and to the methods of treatment for the various types (by histological classification as well as clinical staging). It is fortunate that this paper follows a p...

Apicultural products l ike propolis and pollen have gained increased attention for their therapeutic properties. The aim of this study was to assess antibacterial properties of Egyptian propolis and pollen extracts or their mixtures which were extracted by different ethanol/water concentrations against 6 food borne pathogenic, as well as 4 lac tic acid bacterial (LAB) strains. Antibacterial ac ...
