Biocide exposure induces changes in susceptibility, pathogenicity and biofilm formation in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are a frequent cause of catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Biocides have been incorporated into catheter-coatings to inhibit bacterial colonisation whilst ideally exhibiting low ...

Nanomaterials' Multigenerational Effects by Single and Joint Exposure in Non‐mammalian Models

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanotoxicology has mainly focused on single‐generation studies, leaving multigenerational toxicity underexplored. Having animal welfare recently gained importance, we aimed to provide the state‐of‐the‐art of knowledge about multigenerational effects in non‐mammalian models in the case of nanomaterials (NM) single and joint exposure to other ...

Loss of Function in Escherichia coli exposed to Environmentally Relevant Concentrations of Benzalkonium Chloride [PDF]

, 2018
Assessing the risk of resistance associated with biocide exposure commonly involves exposing microorganisms to biocides at concentrations close to the MIC. With the aim of representing exposure to environmental biocide residues, MG1655 was grown for 20

Glucosinolate hydrolysis compounds for weed control [PDF]

, 2006
Glucosinolates are allelochemicals present in all Brassica plants. Upon hydrolysis by endogenous enzymes they produce a series of biologically active compounds, such as isothiocyanates and their deriva-tives among others.

Effects of Tributyltin Chloride on Human Neuronal Differentiation and Mice Brain Development

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT According to the developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis, perinatal exposure to an environmental toxicant during the development of the nervous system could cause a permanent cellular modification that may promote the appearance of neurodegenerative diseases at an older age.

Poly-β-(1→6)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine mediates surface attachment, biofilm formation, and biocide resistance in Cutibacterium acnes

Frontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundThe commensal skin bacterium Cutibacterium acnes plays a role in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris and also causes opportunistic infections of implanted medical devices due to its ability to form biofilms on biomaterial surfaces. Poly-β-(1→6)-N-

The Employment of Hydrogen Peroxide in Water Disinfection Poses a Threat to Aquatic Ecosystems Because of Its Toxicity to Nontarget Organisms

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen peroxide is widely used in water and wastewater treatment, particularly in advanced oxidation processes that aid in the degradation of compounds and microbial disinfection. Despite concerns about potential environmental contamination, its impact on freshwater ecosystems remains inadequately studied.

AGRICULTURE IN A SOCIALIST CITY: Towards an Alter‐Urban Political Ecology

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban political ecology has developed as a critique of capitalist urbanization. This article develops the concept of alter‐urban political ecology to define urban environments emerging not from capitalist urbanization but from efforts to transform it. Drawing on archival research and ethnographic fieldwork in five urban farms in socialist Cuba,
