Optical detection of bacterial cells on stainless-steel surface with a low-magnification light microscope [PDF]
A Rapid and cost-effective method for detecting bacterial cells on surfaces is critical to protect public health from various aspects, including food safety, clinical hygiene, and pharmacy quality. Herein, we first established an optical detection method based on a gold chip coating with 3-mercaptophenylboronic acid (3-MPBA) to capture bacterial cells,

Heat and Hostility: How Substrate Temperature Shapes Bacterial Deposition Patterns and Pathogenesis in Evaporating Droplets [PDF]
Hypothesis Droplets ejected from the host can directly settle on a substrate as fomite. In industrial environments, especially the food processing industries, the components maintained at specific temperatures can act as a substrate, leading to the fomite mode of infection.
