Formulation, characterization, and valorization of the antioxidant, antibiofilm, and anti-adhesion potentials of a clove essential oil nanoemulsion

Food safety and control are fundamental public health issues that maintain consumer confidence and protection. This design (management) requires monitoring production, processing, and conservation processes while limiting microbiological, c...

An In Vitro Study of Local Oxygen Therapy as Adjunctive Antimicrobial Therapeutic Option for Patients with Periodontitis

Periodontitis is a common global disease caused by bacterial dysbiosis leading to tissue destruction, and it is strongly associated with anaerobic bacterial colonization. Therapeutic strategies such as oxygen therapy have been developed to ...

Emerging nanomaterials for novel wound dressings: From metallic nanoparticles and MXene nanosheets to metal-organic frameworks

The growing need for developing reliable and efficient wound dressings has led to recent progress in designing novel materials and formulations for different kinds of wounds caused by traumas, burns, surgeries, and diabetes. In cases of ext...

Microbial Biofilms Along a Geochemical Gradient at the Shallow-Water Hydrothermal System of Vulcano Island, Mediterranean Sea

Shallow water hydrothermal vents represent highly dynamic environments where strong geochemical gradients can shape microbial communities. Recently, these systems are being widely used for investigating the effects of ocean acidification on...

New dimensions in mechanical plaque control: An overview

Plaque control is the daily removal of dental plaque, oral biofilm and also prevention of their accumulation on the teeth and other parts of oral cavity. Dental plaque is the major etiology of maximum gingival and periodontal diseases. It i...

ITRI Biofilm Prevented Thoracic Adhesion in Pigs That Received Myocardial Ischemic Induction Treated by Myocardial Implantation of EPCs and ECSW Treatment

This study tested the hypothesis that ITRI Biofilm prevents adhesion of the chest cavity. Combined extracorporeal shock wave (ECSW) + bone marrow-derived autologous endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) therapy was superior to monotherapy for i...

Operation strategies of n-DAMO and Anammox process based on microbial interactions for high rate nitrogen removal from landfill leachate

Nitrate/nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-DAMO) coupling to Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) provides an opportunity for simultaneous nitrogen removal and methane emissions mitigation from wastewater. However, to achiev...

<i>Vibrio parahaemolyticus</i> Isolates from Asian Green Mussel: Molecular Characteristics, Virulence and Their Inhibition by Chitooligosaccharide-Tea Polyphenol Conjugates

Fifty isolates of Vibrio parahaemolyticus were tested for pathogenicity, biofilm formation, motility, and antibiotic resistance. Antimicrobial activity of chitooligosaccharide (COS)-tea polyphenol conjugates against all isolates was also st...

Isoliquiritigenin Attenuates Staphylococcus aureus Adhesion and Invasion to Counteract Staphylococcus aureus Pathogenicity and Infection

IntroductionMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major clinical challenge due to its virulence and multidrug resistance. Antivirulence strategies targeting key pathogenic mechanisms without affecting bacterial viability p...

Novel strategies to control the biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the food industry

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative human pathogenic bacterium that has the ability to form multicellular biofilm (BF) communities. Due to the presence of extracellular polymeric substances, BF protects bacteria from unfavorable envir...

Nitrifying niche in estuaries is expanded by the plastisphere

Abstract The estuarine plastisphere, a novel ecological habitat in the Anthropocene, has garnered global concerns. Recent geochemical evidence has pointed out its potential role in influencing nitrogen biogeochemistry. However, the biogeoch...

<i>Escherichia coli</i> Phylogenetic and Antimicrobial Pattern as an Indicator of Anthropogenic Impact on Threatened Freshwater Mussels

Freshwater bivalves are widely used as accumulation indicators and monitoring tools for assessing contaminant effects on different levels of biological integration. This pilot study aimed to explore the phylogenetic diversity of Escherichia...

Inhibition of Citrus Huanglongbing Disease by <i>Paenibacillus polymyx</i> KN-03 and Analysis with Transcriptome and Microflora

Soil drench treatment using Paenibacillus polymyxa strain KN-03 was applied to citrus plants infected with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). The infection status was assessed using PCR and a real-time quantitative PCR detection syst...

Bacterial Succession in Microbial Biofilm as a Potential Indicator for Postmortem Submersion Interval Estimation

Bacteria acts as the main decomposer during the process of biodegradation by microbial communities in the ecosystem. Numerous studies have revealed the bacterial succession patterns during carcass decomposition in the terrestrial setting. T...

Microplastic as a vector of heavy metals and chemicals in aquatic ecosystems
