Background: Cariogenic bacteria has always been considered as the highest risk factor for dental caries. The eradication of microorganisms from oral health environment is important and hence may remedies have suggested its removal a better health.
 Objectives: To assess minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) Cranberry extract to determine efficacy compare effect three products on salivary ...

The steady-state growth of a Flavobacterium strain known to utilize pentachlorophenol (PCP) was examined when cellobiose and PCP simultaneously limited its growth rate in continuous culture. A concentration of 600 mg of PCP per liter in influent medium could be continuously degraded without affecting steady-state growth. We measured specific rates of PCP carbon degradation as high as 0.15 +/- 0...

This paper reports a newly fabricated nanophyto-modified wound dressing with microbicidal and anti-adherence properties. Nanofluid-based magnetite doped with eugenol or limonene was used to fabricate modified wound dressings. Nanostructure coated materials were characterized by TEM, XRD, and FT-IR. For the quantitative measurement of biofilm-embedded microbial cells, a culture-based method for ...

Here we present the Cytoscape app version of our association network inference tool CoNet. Though CoNet was developed with microbial community data from sequencing experiments in mind, it is designed to be generic and can detect associations in any data set where biological entities (such as genes, metabolites or species) have been observed repeatedly. The CoNet app supports Cytoscape 2.x and 3...

introduction: flavored milk is a healthy beverage, nutritious, delicious and thirst elimination by a large group of people, especially children consumed. therefore, the need to find different ways to enhance the nutritional value of milk and its products is of many researchrs’ interest.pomegranate fruits peel is an inedible part obtained during processing of pomegranate juice. pomegranate peel ...

−Monitoring parameters were evaluated for a bioventing process that was designed to treat soils contaminated with diesel fuel. Statistical analyses were conducted to evaluate correlations between total petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations in the contaminated soil and physico-chemical parameters of soil such as microbial counts, dehydrogenase activity, and n-alkane/isoprenoid ratio. The correlat...

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of non-indigenous bacteriocin-producing culture of Lb. sakei on safety and quality of traditional Croatian fermented sausage. Two experiments were carried out; first to evaluate the effect of the culture on artificially inoculated population of Listeria monocytogenes, and the second to characterize the sausages produced with Lb. sakei regar...

PURPOSE Microbial contamination of different cosmetic preparations, as a result of preservative failure, presents a major public health threat. Also, most of the known preservatives have serious consumer side effects. The antimicrobial activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NP) is well documented. Therefore, we aimed to determine the possible use of unirradiated and γ-irradiated ZnO NP as a ...

The objective of this study was to compare the performance, egg quality, and microbial contamination of egg shells from hens maintained in different housing systems, such as conventional and enriched cages, litter, and aviaries. The housing system significantly (P < 0.001) influenced the performance characteristics. The highest egg production, lowest daily feed consumption, and feed conversion ...
