Colonization of Microbial Biofilms in Pipeline of Water Reuse

Microbial colonization of endotracheal tube in intensive care unit patients

Microbial biofilms has remained a major complication of tracheal intubation in patients requiring ventilator equipment. The aim of this study was to characterize bacterial and fungal biofilms in endotracheal tubes from intensive care unit (ICU) patients in Ahwaz, Iran. In this cross-sectional descriptive study, patients admitted to ICU that required mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours ...

Microbial diversity of biofilms in dental unit water systems.

We investigated the microbial diversity of biofilms found in dental unit water systems (DUWS) by three methods. The first was microscopic examination by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), acridine orange staining, and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Most bacteria present in the biofilm were viable. FISH detected the beta and gamma, but not the alpha, subclasses of Proteobacteria: In ...

survey microbial decomposition leaf litter of salix sp. populus sp. robinia sp. in artificial stream

مطالعه اکولوژیک از سرچشمه رودخانه قره سو(سراب روانسر) در استان کرمانشاه واقع در غرب ایران در پائیز 1378 انجام شد، حداکثر دمای آب 20 درجه سانتی گراد بود، هنگام مطالعه دما در سرچشمه 18 سانتی گراد بود، مقدار عناصر شیمیایی آب اندازه گیری نشد. در این پژوهش لاشبرگ های درختی از بید، چنار، اقاقیا جمع آوری سپس توسط بخش هرباریوم دانشکده کشاورزی دانشگاه شناسایی شدند. وزن خاکستر خشک afdm در(نمونه برداری ...

How to Study Biofilms after Microbial Colonization of Materials Used in Orthopaedic Implants

Over the years, various techniques have been proposed for the quantitative evaluation of microbial biofilms. Spectrophotometry after crystal violet staining is a widespread method for biofilm evaluation, but several data indicate that it does not guarantee a good specificity, although it is rather easy to use and cost saving. Confocal laser microscopy is one of the most sensitive and specific t...
