Investigation of bioactive scaffolds as antimicrobials
The increasing incidence and prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains is a worrying global issue. Since the ‘Golden Age’ of antibiotic drug discovery, identifying compound classes with distinct mechanisms of action has proved to be a difficult task. An additional approach to overcoming …

Biospectroscopic investigation on bacterial response to antimicrobials
… may lead to microbes acquire resistance to antimicrobials since antimicrobials not only act as an eliminator for microbes but also a selective agent for the microorganisms with resistant abilities. Moreover, over 95% of bacteria living on earth are unculturable, and most of their living …

Production of antimicrobials and antioxidants from filamentous fungi
Filamentous fungi have proven throughout history to be a vast source of potential therapeutic activities. They are recognised as nutritious, highly palatable functional foods and are now widely accepted as an untapped source of potentially powerful natural products of pharmacological significance. …

The mode of action of Epicoccum derived antimicrobials
Current antifungal drugs possess two major limitations: i) emergence of fungal strains that are resistant to their antifungal modes of action, and ii) toxic side effects of the drugs caused by lack of selectivity towards fungal targets. One option to overcome these limitations is thought to be the …

Potential Antimicrobials for Controlling Listeria monocytogenes in Frankfurters
… One-way RTE can be treated is with the use of antimicrobials. However, in the past chemical substances were used. Currently, consumers want more natural and organic preservatives to combat health problems from toxic components of former synthetic chemicals. Therefore, it is imperative that …

PEPTIDE ENGINEERING FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ANTIMICROBIALS AGAINST Mannheimia haemolytica
… management strategies built around the use of antimicrobials are proving to be increasingly unavailing and lead to drug residues in meat which may contribute to the development of multi drug resistant bacteria. Many M. haemolytica vaccines are effective in stimulating antibody responses but …

Insights into the Mechanisms of Metal Oxide and Cationic Antimicrobials
… alone. Metal oxide- and polyelectrolyte-based antimicrobials are widely studied and used, but their mechanisms of action and interactions with bacterial cells and other substances found in nature are incomplete. The overall goal of this work is to gain insight on the mechanisms of metal oxide …

Isolation And Characterization Of Natural Antimicrobials From Plant And Marine Organisms
<p>Antibiotic agents have been found to have a limited lifespan due to the ability of microrganisms to develop antimicrobial resistance. In this study a number extracts of plant and marine organisms were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against a number of high priority pathogens. …

Efficacy of Ultraviolet Light and Antimicrobials to Reduce Listeria monocytogenes in Chill Brines
… of ultraviolet light (UV) in combination with antimicrobials to reduce L. monocytogenes in fresh and used chill brines. Three different antimicrobials were used in combination with UV; citric acid (CA, 0.2 and 0.5%), dimethyl dicarbonate (DMDC, 250 and 500 ppm), and hydrogen peroxide (HP, 2000 …
