A Tuberculosis Molecular Bacterial Load Assay (TB-MBLA) [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2020
Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), a pathogen classified by the United Nations (UN) as a dangerous category B biological substance. For the sake of the workers' safety, handling of all samples presumed to carry Mtb must be conducted in a containment level (CL) 3 laboratory.

Bacterial Load plotted as (amount of bacterial DNA)÷(stool weight). [PDF]

, 2022
For panels A–D, the data are plotted as the median, with the box representing the interquartile range (first and third quartile/25th–75th percentiles), while the whiskers indicate variability outside the interquartile range, and represent minimum and ...

Physicochemical and microbiological analyses of bacterial isolates from drinking water distribution systems of some higher institutions in Edo State, Nigeria

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2019
In drinking water systems, a large number of microorganisms live in complex communities in a selfproduced extracellular polymeric matrix associated with inner surfaces of pipes, walls and floors of storage tanks, joints and faucets. This study was aimed

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.

Total bacterial load, inflammation, and structural lung disease in paediatric cystic fibrosis [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterised by reduced airway clearance, microbial accumulation, inflammation, and lung function decline. Certain bacterial species may contribute disproportionately to worsening lung disease.

Estimating Bacterial Load in FCFM Imaging [PDF]

, 2017
We address the task of detecting bacteria and estimating bacterial load in the human distal lung with fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy (FCFM) and a targeted smartprobe. Bacteria appear as bright dots in the image when exposed to a smartprobe, but they are often difficult to detect due to the presence of background autofluorescence inherent to ...

Estimating Bacterial and Cellular Load in FCFM Imaging [PDF]

Journal of Imaging, 2018
We address the task of estimating bacterial and cellular load in the human distal lung with fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy (FCFM). In pulmonary FCFM some cells can display autofluorescence, and they appear as disc like objects in the FCFM images, whereas bacteria, although not autofluorescent, appear as bright blinking dots when exposed to a ...

Using T cell lymphokines of hyperimmunized chickens with Salmonella pullorum to protect layer hens against Salmonella pullorum infection [PDF]

Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2022
Salmonella pullorum (SP) is well adapted to cause an acute systemic infection in hens with a high mortality rate. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of a salmonella-immune lymphokine (SILK) produced by hyperimmunized pullets with ...

Load-dependent adaptation near zero load in the bacterial flagellar motor [PDF]

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2019
The bacterial flagellar motor is an ion-powered transmembrane protein complex which drives swimming in many bacterial species. The motor consists of a cytoplasmic ‘rotor’ ring and a number of ‘stator’ units, which are bound to the cell wall of the bacterium. Recently, it has been shown that the number of functional torque-generating stator units in the
