The transcipients were obtained in intrageneric matings of E.coli donor harbouring the plasmid PR4::Mu cts 62 with Bac. cereus GP7 recipient cells with the frequency 10(-9). The transcipient clone Bac. cereus 682 was selected having stably inherited and expressed the hybrid plasmid PR4::Mu cts 62 genes for antibiotic resistance and temperature sensitivity. Production of the bacteriophage Mu cts 62 particles was not registered in the bacillary transcipient cells. The plasmid RP4::Mu cts 62 genes were localized in the chromosome of Bac. cereus 682 transcipient by the blot-hybridization technique with 32P-labelled DNA of the bacteriophage Mu cts 62 and the plasmid PR4. The transcipient of Bac. cereus 682 has the donor properties and transfers the RP4::Mu cts 62 genes to recipient cells of Bac. cereus DSM 318 with the frequency of 10(-6)-10(-7). The expression and transfer of the gram-negative plasmid genes in gram-positive bacterial cells are discussed.

Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial tolerance in the food industry poses risks to food safety, prompting the need for effective solutions like combining different antimicrobials.
- This study examines the antimicrobial effects of two essential oil constituents (carvacrol and eugenol) combined with quaternary ammonium compounds (benzalkonium chloride and didecyldimethylammonium chloride) against common foodborne bacteria.
- Results showed significant bactericidal synergy in these combinations, particularly with DDAC, leading to a strong reduction in bacterial load within a short time, highlighting their potential for improving food sanitization practices.

Statement Of Problem: There are very few studies using Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC) as an active disinfection agent for immersion techniques and there are no studies investigating the efficacy of repeated use of a disinfectant solution.
Purpose: This study evaluated an impression disinfectant by testing bacterial contamination of disinfectant batches used in a clinical setting after repeated use.
Materials And Methods: Liquid samples were collected from impression disinfectant solutions used to disinfect dental impressions taken at a university dental clinic.

Seventeen bacterial strains able to suppress plant pathogens have been isolated from healthy Vietnamese crop plants and taxonomically assigned as members of the group. In order to prove their potential as biocontrol agents, we perform a comprehensive analysis that included the whole-genome sequencing of selected strains and the mining for genes and gene clusters involved in the synthesis of endo- and exotoxins and secondary metabolites, such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Kurstakin, thumolycin, and other AMPs were detected and characterized by different mass spectrometric methods, such as MALDI-TOF-MS and LIFT-MALDI-TOF/TOF fragment analysis.

The failure of current sanitation practices requires the development of effective solutions for microbial control. Although combinations using antibiotics have been extensively studied to look for additive/synergistic effects, biocide combinations are still underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial effectiveness of dual biocide and triple biocide/phytochemical combinations, where phytochemicals are used as quorum sensing (QS) inhibitors.
