Chinese Sichuan Paocai (CSP) is one of the world's best-known fermented vegetables with a large presence in the Chinese market. The dynamic microbial community is the main contributor to Paocai fermentation. However, little is known about the ecologi...
The effects of 3 ethanol levels (30, 50, and 70%) with and without thiamine dilaurylsulfate (TDS; 1,000 ppm) were evaluated for the reduction of natural mesophilic aerobic bacteria (MAB), coliforms, and inoculated Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimuri...
RATIONALE: Contact lens storage cases are known to be contaminated by a significant number of bacteria. However, histamine-producing Raoultella species has not been reported to contaminate contact lens storage case.

Adequate empirical antimicrobial coverage is instrumental in clinical management of community-onset Enterobacteriaceae bacteraemia in areas with high ESBL prevalence, while balancing the risk of carbapenem overuse and emergence of carbapenem-resistan...
There is limited literature examining the accuracy of the VITEK 2 Advanced Expert System (AES) in characterisation of β-lactamase resistance patterns. We present a prospective single centre study to better ascertain the performance characteristics of...
UNLABELLED: Effective policy to address the global threat of antimicrobial resistance requires robust antimicrobial susceptibility data. Traditional methods for measuring minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) are resource intensive, subject to human...
This study addresses the critical public health issue of fecal coliform contamination in the four major rivers in South Korea (Han, Nakdong, Geum, and Yeongsan rivers) by applying advanced machine learning (ML) algorithms combined with Explainable Ar...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical global health challenge, undermining the efficacy of antimicrobial drugs against microorganisms like bacteria, fungi and viruses. Multidrug resistance (MDR) arises when microorganisms become resistant to m...
BACKGROUND: Patients with Gram-negative bloodstream infections are at risk of serious adverse outcomes without active treatment, but identifying who has antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to target empirical treatment is challenging.
