CAM/TMA-DPH as a promising alternative to SYTO9/PI for cell viability assessment in bacterial biofilms.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
INTRODUCTION: Accurately assessing biofilm viability is essential for evaluating both biofilm formation and the efficacy of antibacterial treatments. Traditional SYTO9 and propidium iodide (PI) live/dead staining in biofilm viability assays often ace...

Prediction of population behavior of Listeria monocytogenes in food using machine learning and a microbial growth and survival database.

Scientific reports
In predictive microbiology, statistical models are employed to predict bacterial population behavior in food using environmental factors such as temperature, pH, and water activity. As the amount and complexity of data increase, handling all data wit...

Evaluation of growth and sporulation of a non-toxigenic strain of Clostridioides difficile (Z31) and its shelf viability.

Brazilian journal of microbiology : [publication of the Brazilian Society for Microbiology]
The oral administration of non-toxigenic strains of Clostridioides difficile (NTCD) is currently showing promising results for the prevention of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in humans and animals, and is being considered as a possible com...

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 ...

Segregation of Tetragenococcus halophilus and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii using W/O/W double emulsion for use in mixed culture fermentation.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Antagonism in mixed culture fermentation can result in undesirable metabolic activity and negatively affect the fermentation process. Water-oil-water (W/O/W) double emulsions (DE) could be utilized in fermentation for segregating multiple species and...

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...

The way to cover prediction for cytotoxicity for all existing nano-sized metal oxides by using neural network method.

Nanotoxicology
The regulatory agencies should fulfil the data gap in toxicity for new chemicals including nano-sized compounds, like metal oxides nanoparticles (MeO NPs) according to the registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals (REACH) l...

Evaluation of synergistic anticandidal and apoptotic effects of ferulic acid and caspofungin against Candida albicans.

Journal of food and drug analysis
This study aimed to investigate the synergy between anticandidal and apoptotic effects of ferulic acid and caspofungin against Candida albicans and Candida glabrata, with the help of a quantitative checkerboard microdilution assay using 3-(4,5-dimeth...

The locus of heat resistance (LHR) mediates heat resistance in Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae.

Food microbiology
Enterobacteriaceae comprise food spoilage organisms as well as food-borne pathogens including Escherichia coli. Heat resistance in E. coli was attributed to a genomic island called the locus of heat resistance (LHR). This genomic island is also prese...

Persistence of influenza on surfaces.

The Journal of hospital infection
BACKGROUND: Close contact transmission (either direct or large droplet/droplet nuclei) is considered the main driver of influenza outbreaks but there is limited information regarding the role of fomites in transmission.
