Raman spectroscopy as a tool for studying bacterial cell compounds
… information of all Raman active molecules in the bacterial cell. This technique has already proven to be successful for bacterial identification at the species and strain level. For this purpose, Raman spectroscopy is used as a fingerprint technique. However, these spectra also contain valid …

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (libs): an innovative tool for studying bacteria
… of using LIBS for the rapid discrimination and identification of bacteria (both pathogenic and non-pathogenic) based on the relative concentration of trace inorganic elements such as Mg, P, Ca, and Na. The speed, portability, and robustness of the technique suggest that LIBS may be applicable as …

Novel Diagnostic Methods for Rapid Detection and Identification of Bacterial Infections in Bovine Mastitis
Bacterial infections affect the lives of millions of individuals worldwide. When a patient is diagnosed with an infection, the exact cause is often unknown. Microbial diagnostics rely on methods requiring the growth of a bacterial colony, including lengthy and time-consuming culturing techniques …

Effects of Outdoor Access and Season on Mastitis Pathogen Distribution and Milk Quality Parameters in Dairy Herds in Western Canada
… clinical mastitis milk samples for culture and bacterial identification. Mixed-effects logistic regression models evaluated whether pathogen distribution differed by province, housing type, and season, with random herd effects and adjustments for sampling compliance. A total of 2,143 CM samples …

Evaluation of the flocculation potential and characterisation of a bioflocculant produced by activated sludge bacteria from Vulindlela Wastewater Treatment Plant
… and screened for bioflocculant production. The bacterial identification was done through 16S rRNA gene sequencing and the selected isolate has got about 98% similarities with Proteus mirabilis. The nucleotide sequences were deposited in the Gene bank as Proteus mirabilis with accession number AB …
