This study aims to screen the antibacterial activity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from home-made fermented vegetables against common food borne pathogens. The antagonistic properties of these isolates against Escherichia coli,…
Halloumi is a semi hard cheese produced in Cyprus for centuries and its popularity has significantly risen over the past years. High throughput sequencing (HTS) was applied in the present research to characterize traditional Cyprus Halloumi…
Neonatal sepsis (NS) is responsible for over a 1 million yearly deaths worldwide. In the developing world NS is often treated without an identified microbial pathogen. Amplicon sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene can be used to…
The interest in milk originating from donkeys is growing worldwide due to its claimed functional and nutritional properties, especially for sensitive population groups, such as infants with cow milk protein allergy. The current study aimed…
Extra cellular alkaline protease producing species is an isolate from soil which was characterized and identified as Streptomyces pulvereceus MTCC 8374. Studies on submerged fermentation revealed that maximum level of enzyme production was…
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157: H7 is a food-borne pathogen and the major cause of hemorrhagic colitis. Pseudomonas is the genus most frequent psychrotrophic spoilage microorganisms present in milk. Two-species bacterial…
To substitute petroleum-based materials with bio-based alternatives, microbial fermentation combined with inexpensive biomass is suggested. In this study Saccharina latissima hydrolysate, candy-factory waste, and digestate from full-scale…
Laccases (benzenodiol: oxygen oxidoreductases; EC 1.10.3.2) are multicopper oxidases of wide substrate specificity mainly found in white-rot fungi, which are the only microorganisms able to degrade the whole wood components, but they are…
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa has emerged as a significant opportunistic bacterial pathogen that causes nosocomial infections in healthcare settings resulting in treatment failure throughout the world. This study was carried out to…
Urinary Tract Infection (UTIs) is referred as one of the most common infection in medical sectors worldwide and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is also a global threat to human that is related with many diseases. As antibiotics used for the…
A Rapid and cost-effective method for detecting bacterial cells on surfaces is critical to protect public health from various aspects, including food safety, clinical hygiene, and pharmacy quality. Herein, we first established an optical…
Bacteria pose unique challenges for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) because of strong structuring into distinct strains and substantial linkage disequilibrium across the genome. While methods developed for human studies can correct…
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the most common forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by inflammation of the mucosal layer of the colon. Diagnosis of UC is based on clinical symptoms, and then confirmed based on…
Here we investigate translational regulation in bacteria by analyzing the distribution of start codons in fully assembled genomes. We report 36 genes (infC, rpoC, rnpA, etc.) showing a preference for non-AUG start codons in evolutionarily…
Arid zones contain a diverse set of microbes capable of survival under dry conditions, some of which can form relationships with plants under drought stress conditions to improve plant health. We studied squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) root…
We report here on the ability of elastic light scattering in discriminating Gram+, Gram-and yeasts at an early stage of growth (6h). Our technique is non-invasive, low cost and does require neither skilled operators nor reagents. Therefore…
Densely packed, motile bacteria can adopt collective states not seen in conventional, passive materials. These states remain in many ways mysterious, and their physical characterization can aid our understanding of natural bacterial…
A review of recent investigations into pathogenesis of psoriasis summarizing data on the relationship between the presence {\beta}-streptococci in the organism and the cutaneous immune reaction. Results of the studies on gastrointestinal…
In patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), the serum liver biochemistry measured during treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid (the UDCA response) accurately predicts long-term outcome. In this study we sought to use liver…
A hallmark of bacterial populations cultured in vitro is their homogeneity of growth, where the majority of cells display identical growth rate, cell size and content. Recent insights, however, have revealed that even cells growing in…
