Published: April 1972

The growth of Saccharomyces rouxii and Saccharomyces mellis, which are two of the main spoilage organisms of dates, can be inhibited by various treatments. The most effective treatment found in this study that did not affect flavor consisted of a predip of the dates in 2% potassium sorbate solution followed by injection of methyl bromide into the sealed package.

Changing dynamics of bloodstream infections due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium in Germany, 2017-2023: a continued burden of disease approach.

Antimicrob Resist Infect Control

Unit 37: Healthcare-Associated Infections, Surveillance of Antibiotic Resistance and Consumption, Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Robert Koch Institute, Seestraße 10, 13353, Berlin, Germany.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat to public health, with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) being major contributors. Despite their clinical impact, comprehensive assessments of changes of the burden of bloodstream infections in terms of Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) and attributable deaths over time are lacking, particularly in Germany.

Methods: We used data from the Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance system, which covered about 30% of German hospitals.

A biomass-based "double-encapsulation structure" heightens the flame retardancy, antimicrobial effectiveness, and hydrophobicity of cotton fabric.

College of Textile and Clothing, Institute of Functional Textiles and Advanced Materials, State Key Laboratory of Bio-fibers and Eco-textiles, Qingdao University, Qingdao 266071, China. Electronic address:

Due to the non-renewable nature of petroleum resources, there has been a notable shift toward utilizing biomass materials to confer flame retardant properties to cotton fabrics. However, endow solely with single function cannot meet the application requirements across various fields. Therefore, there is considerable impetus to develop multifunctional cotton fabrics integrating flame retardant, antimicrobial, and hydrophobic properties sourced from biomass.

This study investigates the development and characterization of a novel composite material consisting of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) integrated with (UG) and zinc oxide (ZnO) as fillers. The synergistic effects of UG and ZnO were investigated, focusing on their ability to enhance the film's properties. UV-vis spectrophotometry demonstrated that the composite film effectively blocked all UV (UV-A and UV-B) and blue light wavelengths.
