conclusions the impact of sugars and other factors on biofilm formation can vary depending on the type of bacteria present. results results showed that the presence of sugars has no effect on the bacterial growth rate; all three concentrations of sugars were hydrophilic and demonstrated a high affinity toward binding to the surfaces. background bacteria utilize various methods in order to live ...

conclusions our present study shows that sugar beet molasses is a source of plp and l-ser; and hence, suggests the general application of the approach to produce l-trp more economically. results consequently, the potassium phosphate buffer system was considered as the suitably buffered reaction medium. the concentration of l-trp produced in reaction medium was 0.3 mm and 0.12 mm for glucose and...

conclusions reteplase was expressed in e. coli top 10 after activation of pbad/giiia promoter region by arabinose and optimized. results the obtained recombinant plasmid was sequenced to confirm the presence and correct framing of reteplase gene regarding the expression of reteplase. maximum production of this enzyme was obtained under the following condition: 0.0002% l-arabinose at 37°c for 2 ...

background development of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria motivates the researchers to search for newer antimicrobial agents. objectives in the present study, antibacterial effects of cuminum cyminum linn. essential oil against multidrug resistant (mdr) escherichia coli strains isolated from urinary tract infections were studied, using microdilution method. materials and methods...

background trachyspermum ammi or carum copticum, commonly known as ajowan or ajwain is a plant used as a spice. thymol, the major phenolic compound present in ajowan is known as a strong germicide and anti-spasmodic. it is also used for cleaning the wounds and treating skin infections. objectives here, we aimed to study the inhibitory effects of ajowan essential oil on microorganisms like esche...

vertebral osteomyelitis, or spondylodiscitis, is a rare disease with increasing prevalence in recent years due to a greater number of spinal surgical procedures, nosocomial bacteraemia, an aging population and intravenous drug addiction. haematogenous infection is the most common cause of spondylodiscitis. we report a 47-year-old man diagnosed with escherichia coli spondylodiscitis. the patient...

BACKGROUND:The bacterial contamination of fertile eggs isthe most common cause of embryonic death in ostrich hatcheryunits leading to financial loss in ostrich industry. OBJECTIVES:The aim of this research was to investigate the bacterialcontamination status, with emphasis on Escherichia coli, ofostrich hatcheries and the antimicrobial resistance profile ofisolated Escherichia coli. METHODS:Ato...

introduction:  the aim of the present study was to investigate the presence and the frequency of eaec as etiologic agent of diarrhea in shiraz. enteroaggregative e. coli (eaec) is increasingly recognized as a cause of often persistent diarrhoea in children and adults in both developing and developed countries, and have been identified as the cause of several outbreaks worldwide.   materials and...

objective: escherichia coli o157:h7 is a gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium. e coli o157:h7 is an enterohemorrhagic (ehec) strain of the bacterium escherichia coli and a cause of foodborne illness. infection often leads to bloody diarrhea by producing a toxin called shiga toxin, which damages the intestines, and occasionally leads to kidney failure, especially in young children and elderly peop...
