Evidence for the absence of Staphylococcus aureus in land applied biosolids.

Survival, Growth, and Regrowth of Enteric Indicator and Pathogenic Bacteria in Biosolids, Compost, Soil, and Land Applied Biosolids

MILLIONS of dry tons of biosolids are produced every year. Recycling of them and the safety of disposal is an issue at the center of a national debate. Due to the nutrient content of biosolids, they can be reused beneficially as a soil amendment on numerous areas, such as parks, forests, and agricultural land [41]. Biosolids can also be sold in bulk to consumers for use on home gardens or lawns...

Occurrence of Staphylococcus Aureus-Induced Apoptosis During Infection, Strategy for Cancer Treatment

Introduction: Despite advances in the recognition of new risk factors, prevention, diagnosis and treatment, cancer is still remains as a global health problem. Several numbers of studies have recently provided evidence that because of having pro apoptotic effects, biotoxins such as bacterial toxins, could be used as potential antitumor agents. Staphylococcus aureus, as a major human pathogen, h...

Staphylococcus aureus Colonization in Patients Undergoing Total Hip or Knee Arthroplasty and Costeffectiveness of Decolonization Programme

Background: Periprosthetic joint infection is a devastating complication of total joint arthroplasty. It seems that thepatient’s skin, nose, throat, and urine are important sites for microbial colonization. Colonization with staphylococcusaureus, especially methicillin resistant increases the risk of periprosthetic joint infection. The aim of this study was toassess the prevalence of staphyloco...

Health Effects of Biosolids Applied to Land: Available Scientific Evidence

Rapid DNA extraction of bacterial genome of Staphylococcus aureus using laundry detergents and assessment of the efficiency of DNA in downstream process using PCR

Abstract Background and objectives: Genomic DNA extraction of bacterial cells is of processes performed normally in most biological laboratories therefore, various methods have been offered, manually and kit, which may be time consuming and costly. In this paper, genomic DNA extraction of Staphylococcus aureus was investigated using some laundry detergent brands available in Iran to achieve ...
