A new method for the rapid detection of the antibacterial and bacteriostatic activity of disinfectants based on Propidium Monoazide combined with real-time PCR

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Rapid detection of antibacterial and bacteriostatic properties is an important part of the quality and safety supervision of disinfectants. In this study, propidium monoazide (PMA) was used in combination with real-time PCR (PMA-qPCR) to detect the ...

Disinfectants facilitate the transformation of exogenous antibiotic resistance genes via multiple pathways

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
The prevalence and spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria pose a global challenge to public health. Natural transformation is one of the essential ways for horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).

Wettability changes in polyether impression materials subjected to immersion disinfection

open access: yesDental Research Journal, 2013
Background: Disinfection of impression materials prevents cross-contamination; however, the disinfectants may alter the wettability property. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the wettability changes of polyether impression material after

Exposure of ciprofloxacin-resistant Escherichia coli broiler isolates to subinhibitory concentrations of a quaternary ammonium compound does not increase antibiotic resistance gene transfer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Resistance to antibiotics threatens to become a worldwide health problem. An important attributing phenomenon in this context is that pathogens can acquire antibiotic resistance genes through conjugative transfer of plasmids.

Tolerance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in in vitro biofilms to high level peracetic acid disinfection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Biofilm has been suggested as a cause of disinfection failures in flexible endoscopes where no lapses in the decontamination procedure can be identified. To test this theory, the activity of peracetic acid (PAA), one of the commonly used disinfectants in
