tants discharged from pulp and paper mills, tanneries, distilleries, dye and paint manufacturing and pharmaceuticals industry (Crosby, 1981). The major source of CPs is as by-products when chlorine is used for bleaching of pulp and for disinfections of drinking water. Therefore, large amounts of chlorinated aromatic compounds, including CPs, have been discharged into the environment (Steinle et...

Some fatty acids (FAs) can inhibit or stimulate the growth of bacteria. In general, polyunsaturated FAs such as linoleic and linolenic acids have more inhibitory effects on bacteria than saturated and monounsaturated FAs (Nieman, 1954; Raychowdhury et al., 1985). Gram-positive bacteria, especially, are more sensitive to polyunsaturated FAs than Gram-negative bacteria (Greenway and Dyke, 1979). ...

an adjuvant to antimicrobial therapy, targeted at both planktonic and biofilm (sessile) organisms. Our previous work showed that ultrasound (US) effectively enhances the bactericidal activity of certain antibiotics against planktonic cultures (Pitt et al., 1994; Rediske et al., 1999) and in vitro biofilms (Johnson et al., 1998; Qian et al., 1999) and in vivo biofilms (Carmen et al., 2004b, 2005...

Our study aims to investigate and describe the epidemiology of the intestinal carriage of ESBLPS in intensive care units of five Lebanese hospitals and to analyze the potential risk factors for the acquisition of these strains. At the same time, we intend to determine the patterns of susceptibility of these strains, exploring therefore the availability of alternative treatment. One thousand, fo...
