Lactoferrin as an antimicrobial against Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in raw milk
Improper storage conditions or processing of milk leads to potential spoilage and illness, due in part to temperature abuse, allowing bacteria present to grow and spoil the product.

Tetrazolium Salts and Identification of Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
SummaryA simple method for detection of C. diphtheriae by means of nitro blue tetrazolium (NO2BT) is presented. This procedure is based on the marked reducing activity of C. diphtheriae and the very sensitive indicator properties of NO2BT.

Listeria innocua Biofilm Assay Using NanoLuc Luciferase
Biofilms serve as a bacterial survival strategy, allowing bacteria to persist under adverse environmental conditions. The non-pathogenic Listeria innocua is used as a surrogate organism for the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, because they ...

Cellular response to rare earth mixtures (La and Gd) as components of degradable Mg alloys for medical applications [PDF]
Rare earth (RE) elements have been proposed to improve the corrosion resistance of degradable Mg alloys for medical applications. However, good biocompatibility of the elements released by Mg alloys during degradation is essential for their use in ...

Freeze-Dried Ham Promotes Azoxymethane-Induced Mucin-Depleted Foci and Aberrant Crypt Foci in Rat Colon [PDF]
Processed and red meat consumption is associated with the risk of colorectal cancer. Meta-analyses have suggested that the risk associated with processed meat is higher. Most processed meats are cured and cooked, which leads to formation of free nitrosyl

Influence of Tetrazolium Salts on Human Pseudocholinesterase.
SummaryNeurotoxic effects of tetrazolium salts may be due to interference with enzyme systems in nerve tissue. Six tetrazolium salts were found to inhibit pseudocholinesterase, with the ditetrazoliums generally exhibiting more marked inhibitory activity than the monotetrazoliums. This may be related to the greater number of tertiary amine groups in the

Distinct Glycolysis Inhibitors Determine Retinal Cell Sensitivity to Glutamate-Mediated Injury [PDF]
In this study, we analyzed how distinct glycolysis inhibitors influenced the redox status of retinal cells, used as a neuronal model. Three different approaches were used to inhibit glycolysis: the cells were submitted to iodoacetic acid (IAA), an ...
