Current knowledge of the urinary tract microbiome is limited to urine analysis and analysis of biofilms formed on Foley catheters. Bacterial biofilms on ureteral stents have rarely been investigated, and no cultivation-independent data are available on t
For each anaerobic method, strain, inoculation level, and stress type, 5 replicate enrichments were evaluated by streaking to MacConkey agar for isolation. The numbers of cultures with each method from which S. sonnei was isolated were used to compare the alternative anaerobic methods to the ...
Bacterial colonies in mauve colour were considered to be presumptive V. parahaemolyticus. The mauve colony was picked, purified by streaking back onto the CV plate and incubated at 37 °C overnight. A single colony was transferred to tryptic soy broth (TSB; Merck, Germany) supplemented by 2.5...
a great technician he was. Using his simple microscope, Leeuwenhoek effectively launchedmicrobiologyin 1674, and single-lensed microscopes remained popular until the 1850s. In 1827 they were used by Scottish botanistRobert Brownto demonstrate the ubiquity of thecellnucleus, a term he coined in 1831...
2. Materials and Methods 2.1. Research Design In this study, three types of sewage sludge samples from a municipal full-scale WWTP were examined: Sludge A (raw sludge), Sludge B (sludge dehydrated for 15 days with a dryness of 48%), and Sludge C (sludge dehydrated and exposed to open ...

distributed in 16 communities, considering the types of sources: tubular wells, excavated wells, surface springs, cistern with rainwater and springs. The elution of membranes with negative charges was used to obtain viral particles. Extraction of the genetic material and cDNA synthesis were performed...
In this sense, thermal drying proves to be an effective method for treating large quantities of sludge [7]. As an alternative to these environmentally controversial waste disposal methods, a new approach based on MW heating has emerged. MW technology has demonstrated its effectiveness in various fi...
the PubMLST database and new ST numbers (ST3493, ST3494, ST3472, ST3489, ST3491, and ST3492) were assigned to the respective allele combinations. MLST and core-genome-based phylogenetic analysis confirmed the divergence of these isolates and positioned them in separate branches. Analysis of th...
Fish smoking represents one of the oldest thermic processing methods of fish. It was originally used to preserve fish for later meals, delaying spoiling [4]. Today, in addition to its preservation properties, the smoking process is also preferred for the specific taste and flavor conveyed to the...
