Combined Inhibitory Effect of Fir ( Mill.) Honeydew Honey and Probiotic Bacteria on the Growth of Serotype Typhimurium.

Honey is a natural food consisting mainly of sugars, enzymes, amino acids, organic acids, vitamins, minerals and aromatic substances. In addition to specific organoleptic properties, honey also has other components that contribute to its nutritional and health value. Proteins, vitamins, minerals, organic acids and phenolic compounds, the most variable components of honey, are predominantly responsible for its strong bioactive effect.

Photodynamic Inactivation of Biofilm Formation by Cationic Tetra- and Tripyridylporphyrins in Waters of Different Hardness.

The bacterium is still one of the probable causes of waterborne diseases, causing serious respiratory illnesses. In the aquatic systems, exists inside free-living amoebae or can form biofilms. Currently developed disinfection methods are not sufficient for complete eradication of biofilms in water systems of interest.

Cationic Porphyrins as Effective Agents in Photodynamic Inactivation of Opportunistic Plumbing Pathogen .

is an environmental bacterium, an opportunistic premise plumbing pathogen that causes the Legionnaires' disease. presents a serious health hazard in building water systems, due to its high resistance to standard water disinfection methods. Our aim was to study the use of photodynamic inactivation (PDI) against .
