Enterococci and its enterocins as an alternative to antibiotics in poultry affected by necrotic enteritis
Antibiotics have been widely used in therapeutic, prophylaxis and growth promotion in poultry farming. Due to the urgency of preventing the spread of multi-drug resistant bacteria, many governments have banned the use of antibiotics for growth promotion and urge for a general reduction of these …

In Vitro Study of an Orange Oil Derived Alternative to Antibiotics in the Treatment of Bovine Mastitis
… Staphylococcus aureus is often unresponsive to antibiotic therapy. Our first study examined terpeneless, cold-pressed Valencia (CPV) orange oil as a possible alternative to antibiotic therapy in the treatment of S. aureus associated bovine mastitis. Orange oil showed significant inhibition of …

FUNCTIONAL FEED ADDITIVES FOR ANIMAL HEALTH
World population growth is leading to an increase of the of food from animal origin demand. For the future of the planet and food-production system sustainability some important issues required to be faced. Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most important global concerns cause of thousands of …

Developing Novel Management Options for Pear Fire Blight and Apple Bitter Rot with Characterization of Apple European Canker in Virginia
… from three distinct disease investigations to propose an integrated approach to their management. Firstly, in pursuit of mitigating shoot blight severity caused by Erwinia amylovora and preventing fire blight cankers on pear trees, a two-year evaluation was conducted. The study assessed the …

Proteomic Characterization of Eggshell Membranes and Their Effect on Poultry Physiology and Immunity
<p>The use of antibiotics in poultry growth and disease control has led to antibiotics resistant problem in human beings, which is a big concern among consumers. With the necessity for judicious use of antibiotics in poultry production, alternative strategies to improve disease resistance in …

The effect of viral plasticity on the coexistence and eco-evolutionary dynamics of host-phage systems
Viruses infect host cells to hijack the host machinery for viral reproduction, which can lead to host mortality for unicellular organisms. In marine environments, viruses are recognized as an important factor altering phytoplankton and bacterioplankton growth and dynamics. However, it is still …

Biophysics of Helices: Devices, Bacteria and Viruses
… small scale level make it necessary for bacteria to employ swimming strategies different from our everyday experience, such as the rotation of a helical filament. Bio-inspired microswimmers that mimic bacterial locomotion achieve propulsion at the microscale level using magnetically actuated, …

Alternative treatments for bovine and human mastitis
… treatment for mastitis is the administration of antibiotics for both species. However, there is a compelling need for novel alternative therapies, considering the antibiotic resistance crisis and concomitant problems in the treatment of human and animal infections. Bacteriocins, are a …

Elucidating strategies to design tailored chitosan surfaces with enhanced antibiofouling and biocompatibility properties via plasma assisted processes
… a process that starts with the bacteria adhesion to a surface and subsequent biofilm formation. The production of materials that inhibit bacteria attachment and growth is desired. The emergence of antibiotic resistant (ABR) bacteria, first reported in the first half of the twentieth century, is …

Bacteriophages and their hosts: an investigation into veterinary Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains and the phages isolated against them
… meant that the interest in phage therapy as an alternative to antibiotics has likewise been growing. In particular, *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* is an opportunistic pathogen for which novel treatments are urgently needed, as demonstrated by the World Health Organisation (WHO) priority pathogens …

The Type IV Pilus Assembly ATPase PilB as a Regulator of Biofilm Formation and an Antivirulence Target
Bacterial type IV pili (T4P) are filamentous surface appendages with a variety of functions including motility, surface attachment, and biofilm formation. In many species of bacteria a clear understanding of how the functions of T4P in lifestyle switching are regulated remains to be elucidated. …
