Characterization of rickettsial adhesin Adr2 belonging to a new group of adhesins in α-proteobacteria [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobial Pathogenesis, 2011
Rickettsia prowazekii is the etiological agent of epidemic typhus and is an obligate intracellular bacterium that grows as a parasite freely within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic host cell. Previous studies have shown that rOmpA and rOmpB which belong to the family of rickettsial cell surface antigens are involved in vitro in the adhesion of Rickettsiae

The effect of calcium and magnesium on the aggregation of a purple phototrophic bacteria mixed consortium

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND An essential aspect of applying Purple Phototrophic Bacteria (PPB) technology for wastewater treatment is the biomass separation from the aqueous phase. Ca2+ and Mg2+ have been used to enhance the aggregation of different biological matrices. In this paper, the effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the aggregation of a mixed culture of PPB was

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.
