Fiber-based food packaging materials in view of bacterial growth and survival capacities

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Understanding interactions of bacteria with fiber-based packaging materials is fundamental for appropriate food packaging. We propose a laboratory model to evaluate microbial growth and survival in liquid media solely consisting of packaging materials ...

Impact of Proinflammatory Cytokines on the Virulence of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The effect of a urinary tract infection on the host is a well-studied research field. However, how the host immune response affects uropathogenic Escherichia coli (CFT073) virulence is less studied.

Machine learning-assisted discovery of growth decision elements by relating bacterial population dynamics to environmental diversity

eLife, 2022
Microorganisms growing in their habitat constitute a complex system. How the individual constituents of the environment contribute to microbial growth remains largely unknown. The present study focused on the contribution of environmental constituents to

Bacterial Growth Kinetics under a Novel Flexible Methacrylate Dressing Serving as a Drug Delivery Vehicle for Antiseptics [PDF]

, 2013
A flexible methacrylate powder dressing (Altrazeal®) transforms into a wound contour conforming matrix once in contact with wound exudate. We hypothesised that it may also serve as a drug delivery vehicle for antiseptics.

Iron-Modified Blood Culture Media Allow for the Rapid Diagnosis and Isolation of the Slow-Growing Pathogen Francisella tularensis

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
The life-threatening disease tularemia is caused by Francisella tularensis, an intracellular Gram-negative bacterial pathogen. Due to the high mortality rates of the disease, as well as the low respiratory infectious dose, F. tularensis is categorized as

Bacterial Growth of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli in Pooled Urine Is Much Higher than Predicted from the Average Growth in Individual Urine Samples

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Urinary tract infections (UTIs), mostly caused by uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC), affect most women, and often recur. Genomic and transcriptomic analyses have not identified a common set of virulence genes, which has suggested complex host-pathogen ...
