is benzalkonium chloride. The authors of the new paper suspected that Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria can become resistant to benzalkonium chloride if they are exposed to low concentrations of the chemical. In addition, they postulated that if bacteria became resistant to benzalkomium chloride...
What’s more, bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics. The more you take the less effective they can be, making the healing process much more difficult. It isn’t smart to depend on antibiotic for ultimate health. The better route is to take a more holistic approach by incorporating chi...

Since 1990 the percentage of bacterial sinus infections in Aqadestan that are resistant to the antibiotic perxicillin has increased substantially. Bacteria can quickly develop resistance to an antibiotic when it is prescribed indiscriminately or when patients fail to take it as prescribed. Since perxi...
LAB derived bacteriocins are suitable to use as food preservatives due to their characteristics: a) protein nature – they are inactivated by proteases in the gastrointestinal tract. b) Non-toxic and generally non-immunogenic. c) Thermoresistant thus the antimicrobial activity remains after pasteurizati...
become reservoirs of drug-resistant bacteria and can pass the organisms to humans through direct contact or via the food chain. In addition, resistant bacteria can be spread from place to place due to global or domestic travel and through the global food markets (Da Silva & Mendonça, 2012)...
Can bacteria have oncogenes? What is the biggest cause of foodborne illness? Is schistosomiasis a virus or bacteria? Is giardiasis a caused by a protozoan? Do killer T-cells kill bacteria? Are there any bacteria resistant to all antibiotics?
