ΚΑΤΑΝΟΜΗ ΒΙΟΤΥΠΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΟΡΟΤΥΠΩΝ ESCHERICHIA COLI ΣΕ ΚΛΙΝΙΚΑ ΥΛΙΚΑ. ΣΥΣΧΕΤΙΣΗ ΦΑΙΝΟΤΥΠΩΝ ΑΝΤΙΣΤΑΣΕΩΣ ΚΑΙ ΟΡΟΤΥΠΩΝ
… COLI. THE MICROORGANISMS WERE FURTHER CLASSIFIED TO BIOTYPES AND RESISTANCE PHENOTYPES. FOR THE CLASSIFICATION TO BIOTYPES, 25 BIOCHEMICAL REACTIONS WERE USED. SEROTYPING WAS PROCESSED WITH 36 MONOVALENT ANTISERA WHILE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO ANTIBIOTICS WAS CARRIED OUT WITH THE USE OF STANDARDIZED 13 …

A multiplexed microfluidic platform for antibiotic susceptibility testing
Antibiotic susceptibility testing represents a key first step for determining therapeutic regimens to treat bacterial infections. Current technologies are slow and cumbersome, require large sample volumes for analysis, have poor detection sensitivity and limited combinatorial capabilities. These …

Mechanistic Study of Antimicrobial Cyclic Peptide [R4W4] Antibacterial Effectiveness against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
… are being explored as a potential solution to combat antibiotic resistance, as they have shown promise in reducing susceptibility to antibiotics. This study explores if [R<sub>4</sub>W<sub>4</sub>] peptide is bacteriostatic or bactericidal using modified two-fold serial dilution and …

Using Probiotics in Intensive Care with Special Reference to Lactobacillus plantarum 299 and 299v
… disturbed by severe illness and the use of antibiotics. The intestinal barrier that separates the luminal contents, with a very high density of microorganisms, from an almost sterile milieu in the gut wall, is disrupted in critically illness. Probiotic bacteria have the ability to counteract …

Poultry Performance and Food Safety Impacts of Selected Organic Acids and Probiotics
… foodborne pathogens have been challenges to the poultry industry. <em>Salmonella</em> has been the most common bacterial pathogen in laboratory confirmed foodborne illness cases, and contaminated poultry and poultry products have been identified as the most important source of transmission …

Characterizing the genotypic and phenotypic diversity of Gardnerella vaginalis from vaginal clinical samples
… with pregnancy complications, pelvic inflammatory disease as well as acquisition and transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. While the etiology of BV is not well characterized, it is understood that Gardnerella vaginalis plays a critical role in BV by initiating the formation of the …

Creation and validation of an enhanced in vitro model of the lungs
… the complex lung structure and the numerous factors affecting the pulmonary delivery of drugs has necessitated extensive research on this drug delivery route. The research mostly includes studies on characterization of aerosolized formulations in terms of their aerodynamic properties and …

Electrochemical Control of Bacterial Persister Cells
… bacteria has presented an increasing challenge to infection control. Conventional methods of antibacterial treatment involving high dose of antibiotics or surgical intervention have proven insufficient for eradicating persistent infections, such as those associated with medical implants. It is …

Regulation of Outer Membrane Porins in P. aeruginosa Strains Collected from Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
… cystic fibrosis, are particularly susceptible to P. aeruginosa infections, leading to higher morbidity and mortality in this patient population. In the CF lung environment, this microorganism is subjected to stressful conditions including chronic antibiotic exposure, elevated sodium chloride …

Evaluation of probiotic and vaginal Lactobacillus species for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis and promotion of vaginal health in South African women
… has been hypothesized that lytic or temperate Lactobacillus bacteriophages may contribute. The current standard of care for BV are antibiotics like metronidazole or clindamycin, although these are not effective long-term, as rates of BV recurrence are high. There is thus an urgent need for durable …
