It is intended to provide a method of killing pathogenic microorganisms by which pathogenic microorganisms can be easily killed while maintaining a high safety to the human body and in which neither ultraviolet light nor titanium oxide is employed. A subject substance to be treated is brought into...
Pathogenicity, particularly amongst bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, is contextual, and depends on both host genetics and the other microorganisms present. Many organisms shift between benign and pathogenic states according to their environment. ...
Since gentamicin was not concentrated in epithelial cells, intracellular bacteria survived the incubation, while adherent and extracellular bacteria were killed. The monolayers were then washed with sterile PBS, and epithelial cells with intracellular bacteria were detached by trypsin and lysed in water ...
We found that indeed the genus Furia needed to be synonymized with Pandora. 2. Material and Methods 2.1. Fungal Collection 2.1.1. Pandora gloeospora from Mushroom Flies Mushroom flies killed by P. gloeospora were collected from a mushroom farm near Kennett Square, PA (39.43833, −75.711058...

(a) Chestnut blight disease, caused by the fungusCryphonectria, has killed nearly all 4 billion American chestnut trees in the plant’s natural range (a) with its spores spreading from diseased to healthy tree, infecting branches and the trunks of small trees, causing cankers (b) on tree ...
by theToxoplasmaparasite1,13. Other systems for the study of pathogenic alteration of behavior include several examples within insect hosts, such as ants5,14, crickets4, and leafhoppers11. Thus, in both plants and animals, microorganisms have been shown to alter the behavior and physiology of ...
Using nanoparticles in low concen- trations that are effective against microorganisms, has no toxic effect on the eukaryotic cells [76]. Antibiofilm activity More than 60% of bacterial infections are caused by the formation of biofilms in chronic wounds. Unlike plank- tonic bacteria, which are ...
The pyrogenicity of another group of gram-positive microorganisms, the pathogenic fungi, has received no consideration in the literature, although Salvin (4) reported that they possess lethal endotoxins for mice. The following study was undertaken, therefore, to determine which of the common ...
Cfu was determined after cell lysis by serial dilution. To avoid re-infection of cells during MACS separation and to assess the number of extracellular bacteria, extracellular bacteria have to be killed or substantially reduced during an incubation time of 1 hour. As depicted in (a), a 1 ...
