Elucidating antibiofilm as well as photocatalytic disinfection potential of green synthesized nanosilver against multi-drug-resistant bacteria and its photodegradation ability of cationic dyes.

Background: Bioinspired nanomaterials have widely been employed as suitable alternatives for controlling biofilm and pathogens due to their distinctive physico-chemical properties.

Methodology: This study explored the antibiofilm as well as photocatalytic potential of silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized using the cell-free supernatant of Lactobacillus acidophilus for the disinfection of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) strains of enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), Salmonella Typhimurium, S.

Expression and purification of an immunogenic SUMO-OmpC fusion protein of Salmonella Typhimurium in Escherichia coli.

Salmonella is found to be a major causes of food borne diseases globally. Poultry products contaminated with this pathogen is one of the major sources of infections in humans. Outer membrane protein C (OmpC) of Salmonella Typhimurium is a promising DNA vaccine candidate to mitigate Salmonella infection in poultry.

Evaluation of recombinant outer membrane protein based vaccine against Salmonella Typhimurium in birds.

Food-borne diseases caused by Salmonella enterica from poultry sources represent an important public health problem and no reliable control by vaccination has proved effective despite research. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of recombinant OmpC protein for immunization of birds to elucidate its protection against virulent Salmonella Typhimurium. The recombinant OmpC protein was prepared after cloning and expressing ompC gene and was characterized by SDS-PAGE and Western blot analyses.
