Isolation of marine hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria from petroleum contaminated sites in Dumai [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences, 2023
The Dumai Sea is vulnerable to pollution, especially oil spills. Oil pollution in Dumai seawater causes a decline in the population of aquatic organisms. Isolation and screening of marine hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria is one effort to find potential local

Identification and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Anaerobes Isolated from Clinical Specimens: A Study Re-emphasizing Role of the Neglected Bacteria Causing Significant Infections

JK Science, 2021
Background: Anaerobic bacteria cause significant human infections but isolation, identification and antimicrobial susceptibility of these bacteria in routine microbiology is given least importance. Because of neglect towards this branch of microbiology,

Teaching Crafty Microbiology: Safely Teaching Hands-on Microbiology Skills at Home

Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2021
Using non-toxic craft items and disposable lab consumables, we have developed nine modules to teach fundamental, hands-on microbiology lab skills safely at home. These “Crafty” teaching modules can be paired with virtual instruction and/or data collected

Diffusion of an ellipsoid in bacterial suspensions [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 068303 (2016), 2015
Active matter such as swarming bacteria and motile colloids exhibits exotic properties different from conventional equilibrium materials. Among these properties, the enhanced diffusion of tracer particles is generally deemed as a hallmark of active matter. Here, rather than spherical tracers, we investigate the diffusion of isolated ellipsoids in quasi-

A case of Beauveria bassiana keratitis confirmed by internal transcribed spacer and LSU rDNA D1–D2 sequencing

New Microbes and New Infections, EarlyView., 2014
Abstract We describe a case of fungal keratitis due to Beauveria bassiana in a farmer with Fuchs' dystrophy, treated with amphotericin B. Surgery with penetrating keratoplasty was necessary to resolve the lesions. Susceptibility testing and molecular sequencing permitted the identification and treatment of this rare aetiological agent of invasive ...

Q fever outbreak in the terraced vineyards of Lavaux, Switzerland

New Microbes and New Infections, EarlyView., 2014
Abstract Coxiella burnetii infection (Q fever) is a widespread zoonosis with low endemicity in Switzerland, therefore no mandatory public report was required. A cluster of initially ten human cases of acute Q fever infections characterized by prolonged fever, asthenia and mild hepatitis occurred in 2012 in the terraced vineyard of Lavaux ...

Microfluidic bioanalytical flow cells for biofilm studies: A review [PDF]

Analyst, 2019, 144, 68-86, 2021
Bacterial biofilms are among the oldest and most prevalent multicellular life forms on Earth and are increasingly relevant in research areas related to industrial fouling, medicine and biotechnology. The main hurdles to obtaining definitive experimental results include time-varying biofilm properties, structural and chemical heterogeneity, and ...

Microbiological and Epidemiological Features of Clinical Respiratory Isolates of Burkholderia gladioli [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2009
ABSTRACT Burkholderia gladioli , primarily known as a plant pathogen, is involved in human infections, especially in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). In the present study, the first respiratory isolates recovered from 14 French patients with CF and 4 French patients without CF, identified by 16S rRNA gene analysis,

Microbiological contaminants in cosmetics – isolation and characterization

, 2014
Cosmetic industries are not obliged to produce sterile cosmetics. Nevertheless, they are liable to assure safety of the product to the potential consumer. The purpose of the study was isolation and identification of microorganisms with the ability to survive and develop in cosmetics. Five cosmetics applied for facial skin and one cosmetic for body care
