In hospitals, surfaces present as a reservoir for bacteria pathogens, potentially leading to nosocomial infections. In this work, authors aim to profile extended-spectrum β lactamase- and carbapenemase-carrying
The balance between bacterial colonization and its containment in the intestine is indispensable for the symbiotic relationship between humans and their bacteria. One component to maintain homeostasis at the mucosal surfaces is immunoglobulin A (IgA), the most abundant immunoglobulin in mammals1,2. Sever...
After incubation for 24 or 48 h at 37 °C under stirring, the culture medium was diluted, and plated evenly on specifically selective plates of S. aureus and E. coli. Bacterial colonies were counted in the next day (n = 3). 2.5.3. Bacterial disk diffusion test The antibacterial ...
The TNF-a ELISA kits were purchased from Jiangsu Meimian Industrial Co., Ltd. Cell proliferation kit (CCK8) was acquired from Beyotime Biotechnology. 2.2. Preparation of Rif@Lf NPs Lf (200 mg) was dissolved in ultrapure water (5 ml, 40 mg/ml) and centrifuged at 11,000 r/min for 10...
Some e-waste is relatively large: old phones and air conditioners, for instance. Other e-waste is more hidden, such as electronic single-use medical diagnostic kits, environmental sensors, and smart labels that contain one-off batteries and other equipment. “It’s these small batteries that ...
For the assessment, 50 μL of overnight-grown cultures was aseptically applied to each of the specific designated wells of the kit by surface inoculation method, and then, the kits were again sealed off and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h, and after the incubation, the results were...
Surfaces related to health can also include the inner and outer aspects of those household articles involved in providing for nutrition, sanitation or disease prevention. Thus, the bacteriophages (and optionally toxic compound) of the present invention may also be used for disinfecting toilet bowls et...
The invention also provides kits containing packaging and a bacteriophage(s) of the invention. It will be appreciated that the amount of the present bacteriophages, required for use in treatment will vary not only with the particular carrier selected but also with the route of administration, ...
The bacteria may be those that invade and grow within eukaryotic cells and/or colonize mucosal surfaces. The bacteria are generally gram negative but in some embodiments gram positive bacteria may be used. The bacteria are generally pathogens. The bacteria used may be from the genus Escherichia,...
