Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris has been gaining attention due to its unique thermo-acidophilic properties and being associated with the deterioration of pasteurized beverages. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of chitosan with various molecular weights (MWs) (164, 85, 29.2, and 7.1 kDa) and concentrations (0-100 μg/mL) against A. acidoterrestris and its effect on guaiacol production. Various chitosan MWs were co-incubated for 7 days, and the bacterial growth, guaiacol, and vanillic acid contents during storage were determined. The chitosans performed antibacterial effects against A. acidoterrestris. Further, 164 kDa chitosan showed excellent results in controlling the growth and guaiacol formation in A. acidoterrestris. These findings demonstrated the efficacy of chitosan antibacterial activity against A. acidoterrestris and mitigating the guaiacol formation. Chitosan's antibacterial properties are attributed to the elimination of cells and suppression of guaiacol production. This study introduces a new approach for reducing A. acidoterrestris contamination in fruit juices, with potential product quality and safety advantages.

Ensuring everyone enjoys healthy lifestyles and well-being at all ages, Progress has been made in increasing access to clean water and sanitation facilities and reducing the spread of epidemics and diseases. The synthesis of nano-particles (NPs) by using microalgae is a new nanobiotechnology due to the use of the biomolecular (corona) of microalgae as a capping and reducing agent for NP creation. This investigation explores the capacity of a distinct indigenous microalgal strain to synthesize silver nano-particles (AgNPs), as well as its effectiveness against multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria and its ability to degrade Azo dye (Methyl Red) in wastewater.

The evolution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in biofilms, driven by mechanisms like oxidative stress, is a major challenge. This study investigates whether antioxidants (AOs) such as N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and Edaravone (ED) can reduce AMR in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms exposed to sub-inhibitory concentrations of ciprofloxacin (CIP). In vitro experimental evolution studies were conducted using flow cells and glass beads biofilm models.

Conjugative plasmids promote the dissemination and evolution of antimicrobial resistance in bacterial pathogens. However, plasmid acquisition can produce physiological alterations in the bacterial host, leading to potential fitness costs that determine the clinical success of bacteria-plasmid associations. In this study, we use a transcriptomic approach to characterize the interactions between a globally disseminated carbapenem resistance plasmid, pOXA-48, and a diverse collection of multidrug resistant (MDR) enterobacteria.

is one of the opportunistic pathogens that may cause serious health problems and can produce several virulence factors, which are responsible for various infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. They are responsible for producing infections on indwelling medical devices by attaching on to them and forming a biofilm. Antibiofilm, antivirulence, and gene expression studies of biofilm treated with esters of flavonols were evaluated.
