Novel neural network application for bacterial colony classification.

Theoretical biology & medical modelling
BACKGROUND: Bacterial colony morphology is the first step of classifying the bacterial species before sending them to subsequent identification process with devices, such as VITEK 2 automated system and mass spectrometry microbial identification syst...

In vitro and in vivo resistance of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG carried by a mixed pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merril) and jussara (Euterpe edulis Martius) juice to the gastrointestinal tract.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
This study evaluated the viability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) and its in vitro and in vivo resistance to the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) when carried by a mixed fermented pineapple and jussara juice. The effects of product ingestion on the ...

Control of Listeria monocytogenes in whole milk using antimicrobials applied individually and in combination.

Journal of dairy science
Dairy product recalls and dairy-related illnesses are often the result of contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, which can occur throughout the dairy production and supply chains. The use of antimicrobial compounds is one practical approach for c...

Production and characterization of a biosurfactant produced by Streptomyces sp. DPUA 1559 isolated from lichens of the Amazon region.

Brazilian journal of medical and biological research = Revista brasileira de pesquisas medicas e biologicas
Surfactants are amphipathic compounds containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, capable to lower the surface or interfacial tension. Considering the advantages of the use of biosurfactants produced by microorganisms, the aim of this paper w...

Effect of storage conditions in the response of Listeria monocytogenes in a fresh purple vegetable smoothie compared with an acidified TSB medium.

Food microbiology
In this study, growth and/or inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes 4032 at different inoculum levels in a vegetable smoothie with purple colour, (previously heat stabilised at 95 °C for 3 min) was evaluated. Growth/inactivation was compared with aci...

Dynamic predictive model for growth of Salmonella spp. in scrambled egg mix.

Food microbiology
Liquid egg products can be contaminated with Salmonella spp. during processing. A dynamic model for the growth of Salmonella spp. in scrambled egg mix - high solids (SEM) was developed and validated. SEM was prepared and inoculated with ca. 2 log CFU...

Antimicrobial efficacy of the EndoVac system plus PDT against intracanal Candida albicans: an ex vivo study.

Brazilian oral research
This study evaluated the ex vivoantimicrobial efficacy of the EndoVac system and the photodynamic therapy (PDT) associated with chemomechanical debridement (CMD) and intracanal medication on Candida albicans. Seventy-eight sterile premolars were cont...

Deep learning-driven hyperspectral imaging for real-time monitoring and growth modeling of psychrophilic spoilage bacteria in chilled beef.

International journal of food microbiology
Owing to the unsound cold chain system in China, chilled beef's quality would be affected by psychrophilic bacteria, resulting in quality deterioration and corruption, which leads to food safety problems. In this study, the growth of Pseudomonas and ...

Evaluation of a protocol for reducing the microbial contamination of dental unit water.

Acta odontologica latinoamericana : AOL
Biofilm on dental unit waterlines can spread microbial contamination in the water. The aim of this study was to investigate microbial contamination of water from supplies and dental units before and after the implementation of a protocol for microbia...

Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Functions of N-halamine Dental Unit Waterline Tubing for One Year.

The Journal of clinical dentistry
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to test the biofilm-controlling properties of N-halamine antimicrobial dental unit waterline (DUWL) tubing (T) tubing, without recharging over one year, compared to a control line (C).
