EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF ACTIVE CHLORINE INFLUENCE TO PATHOGENIC AND POTENTIALLY PATHOGENIC MICROORGANISMS

Aptamers against pathogenic microorganisms

An important current issue of modern molecular medicine and biotechnology is the search for new approaches to early diagnostic assays and adequate therapy of infectious diseases. One of the promising solutions to this problem might be a development of nucleic acid aptamers capable of interacting specifically with bacteria, protozoa, and viruses. Such aptamers can be used for the specific recogn...

Pathogenic Microorganisms and Pancreatic Cancer.

BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers worldwide. No effective screening methods exist, and available treatment modalities do not effectively treat the disease. Established risk factors for pancreatic cancer, including smoking, chronic pancreatitis, obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, collectively account for less than half of all pancreatic cancer cases. Accumulating ...

survival of normal and chlorine-stressed pathogenic and non-pathogenic vibrio parahaemolyticus under adverse conditions

conclusions chlorine-stressed cells of v. parahaemolyticus were more susceptible to adverse conditions than the non-stressed ones. pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains showed the same survival characteristics under the adverse conditions. these results should be considered in the development of food preservation measures. results findings of the current study revealed that the normal cells of ...

UV inactivation of pathogenic and indicator microorganisms.

Survival was measured as a function of the dose of germicidal UV light for the bacteria Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Shigella sonnei, Streptococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis spores, the enteric viruses poliovirus type 1 and simian rotavirus SA11, the cysts of the protozoan Acanthamoeba castellanii, as well as for total coliforms and standard plate count micro...
