Enterocin LD3 from Enterococcus hirae LD3 Inhibits the Growth of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium ATCC 13311 in Fruit Juice.

In order to prevent the growth of pathogens in food, bacteriocins produced by various probiotic lactic acid bacteria have been recognized as potential substitutes of chemical preservatives. In this study, enterocin LD3 was purified from the cell-free supernatant of a food isolate, Enterococcus hirae LD3 using multistep chromatography. In the fruit juice, lethal concentration (LC) of enterocin LD3 was found to be 260 µg/mL against Salmonella enterica subsp.

A Quality Improvement Initiative: Improving First-hour Breastfeeding Initiation Rate among Healthy Newborns.

Introduction: "No matter where a newborn takes his or her first breath, the desire to give that baby the best start in life is universal." The best gift a mother can give her baby is the gift of health. The gift of health can be given to the baby through early and adequate breastfeeding.

Synergistically-acting Enterocin LD3 and Plantaricin LD4 Against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Pathogenic Bacteria.

The efficacy of antimicrobials is an important aspect during their applications in food and therapeutics. In this study, combination of two bacteriocins, enterocin LD3 and plantaricin LD4, was studied against two pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus ATCC25923 and Salmonella enterica subsp.

Effectiveness of Warm Compression on Lumbo-Sacral Region in Terms of Labour Pain Intensity and Labour Outcomes among Nulliparous: an Interventional Study.

Childbirth is a distinctive and joyous moment in every mother's life. Giving birth is one of the powerful and vital event. This study aimed to assess and evaluate the effectiveness of warm compression (moist heat) on lumbo-sacral region in terms of labor pain intensity and labor outcomes An experimental research design was carried out on 88 nulliparous mothers with normal singleton term pregnancy (44 participants in each group) who were admitted in the labor room.

Knowledge and attitude regarding reproductive and sexual health among school teachers: a descriptive survey.

Background: Adolescence is a time of evolving from the immaturity of childhood into the maturity of adulthood. This is a stage which requires extra care and protection. Physiologically and physically, adolescents go through a series of transformations as they grow and develop.

Health-Promoting Behaviors and Menopausal Symptoms: An Interventional Study in Rural India.

Background: Menopausal transition initiates with menstrual cycle length variety and finishes when last menstrual period happens. As life expectancy has increased, a menopausal woman has to spend one-third of her life span with estrogen deprivation stage that leads to major long-term symptomatic and metabolic complications.

Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study conducted on 103 menopausal women between 40 and 60 years of age residing in Ambala district, Haryana.

Enterocin LD3 from Enterococcus hirae LD3 causing efflux of intracellular ions and UV-absorbing materials in Gram-negative bacteria.

Aims: To understand the bactericidal action of enterocin LD3 against Gram-negative bacteria.

Methods And Results: Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of enterocin LD3 against Micrococcus luteus MTCC 106 and Escherichia coli NCDC 135 was 80 and 112 μg ml , and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was 128 and 180 μg ml , respectively. The efflux of potassium ion (K ) was 14 and 13 ppm and electrical conductivity 10·5 and 8·3 mS cm in cell-free supernatant of MIC-treated cells of M.
