Adaptive response of single and binary Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli biofilms to benzalkonium chloride [PDF]
The main goal of this work was to examine whether the continuous exposure of single and binary P. aeruginosa and E. coli biofilms to sub-lethal benzalkonium chloride (BC) doses can induce adaptive response of bacteria.

Effect of 0.025% atropine on ocular biometry changes during accommodation
Abstract Purpose Low concentration atropine is an effective treatment to slow myopia progression and axial elongation and also reduces accommodation. On‐axis ocular dimensions of the eye change during accommodation; hence, this study aimed to quantify the effect of 0.025% atropine eye drops on accommodation‐induced changes in ocular biometry.

Comparative proteomic analysis of a potentially probiotic Lactobacillus pentosus MP-10 for the identification of key proteins involved in antibiotic resistance and biocide tolerance [PDF]
Probiotic bacterial cultures require resistance mechanisms to avoid stress-related responses under challenging environmental conditions; however, understanding these traits is required to discern their utility in fermentative food preparations, versus ...
