A Novel Bioprotective Strain of F2-Physiological, Genetical, and Antimicrobial Characterization.

is a member of lactic acid bacteria that improves the quality of fermented foods while also having a positive impact on human health. In this study, F2 was studied for characteristics such as biochemical and genetic identification, metabolite production, antimicrobial activity, and plasmid content. This strain exerts antimicrobial activity against some Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens (, , , and ) with inhibition zone diameters ranging between 17.

Effects of spore purity on the wet heat resistance of Clostridium perfringens, Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis spores.

Heat resistance of spores of Clostridium perfringens 8238 (Hobbs Serotype 2), Bacillus cereus NCTC 11143 (4810/72), and Bacillus subtilis PS533, an isogenic derivative of strain PS832 (a 168 strain) was determined in ground beef at 95 °C. Spore purification was by centrifugation and washing with sterile distilled water (dH2O), followed by sonication and then Histodenz centrifugation for B. subtilis and C.

The apoptotic effect of the Lycopodium clavatum extracts on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.

Breast cancer is a significant health problem worldwide, and the search for effective treatments is critical. Side effects of cancer treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy reduce the patient's standard of living. Recently, natural compounds from plants have gained attention as potential anticancer agents due to their safety, low toxicity, and potential efficacy.

Cytotoxic effects of contemporary bulk-fill dental composites: A real-time cell analysis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of contemporary flowable and paste-like bulk-fill dental composites by using a real-time cell analysis. In the present paper, cytotoxicity levels of five flowable, five paste-like bulk-fill composite materials and one conventional flowable, one conventional paste-like resin composite were examined on L929 mouse fibroblast cell line. After seeding 25,000 cells/300 μL/well cell suspensions into the wells of an E-plate, test materials were added and observed at every 30 min intervals for 72 h.

RS sample: Can be guide for empirical treatment of haematological malignancy patients?

Neutropenia due to intensive chemotherapy in haematological malignancy patients leaves the host vulnerable and makes them susceptible to infections. Infections are the most important cause of morbidity and mortality especially in haematological malignancy and chemotherapy patients. In addition, the use of multiple or inappropriate antibiotics leads to the development of resistant microorganisms.

Purification and mass spectrometry based characterization of a pediocin produced by Pediococcus acidilactici 13.

Bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides produced by several bacterial species. Among the bacteriocins pediocin-like bacteriocins have a significant inhibitory activity on the foodborne pathogens especially on Listeria monocytogenes. This study aims to select a simple and usable purification method to purify/concentrate the antimicrobial peptide and characterization of the bacteriocin produced by Pediococcus acidilactici 13 by using proteomic approaches which is a recent omic technology.

Predictive model for the reduction of heat resistance of Listeria monocytogenes in ground beef by the combined effect of sodium chloride and apple polyphenols.

We investigated the combined effect of three internal temperatures (57.5, 60, and 62.5°C) and different concentrations (0 to 3.

Some growth parameters and antimicrobial activity of a bacteriocin-producing strain Pediococcus acidilactici 13.

Some growth parameters and bacteriocin production by the strain Pediococcus acidilactici 13, were screened in this study. The inhibitor substance produced by this strain showed strong antimicrobial activity at 204,800 AU/mL (Activity Units/mL) against the gram positive food borne pathogen, Listeria monocytogenes, when the incubation temperature was 37 degrees C and the initial pH of the medium, TGE (Trypton Glucose Yeast Extract), was 6.0.
