IntroductionTemporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD) are common, affecting approximately 30% of the population. While the aetiology of TMJD has been considerably discussed, one aspect that has not been thoroughly investi...

Abstract Background Bacterial urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections in children. The prevalence and etiological patterns of pediatric UTIs vary based on demographic and environmen...

ObjectiveMulti-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial infections have become a pressing global health issue due to increasing antibiotic resistance in clinical settings. This study aimed to identify and analyze the patterns of M...

ABSTRACT Protein trafficking from the cytosol to specific sites of action is a fundamental process for bacterial survival and growth. In the monoderm gram-positive bacteria, this process involves traversing the cytoplasm...

The mechanisms by which probiotic bacteria exert their effects on the immune system are not completely understood, but the epithelium may be a crucial player in the orchestration of the effects induced. In a previous wor...

Layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly microencapsulation is a promising method to protect and deliver probiotics, although its implementation has mostly been confined to the lab scale. This study develops a scalable method ...

The constant use of sodium N-methyldithiocarbamate (metam sodium: MS) in protected agriculture in México has attracted the attention of researchers and producers on their effects on the environment. The objective of thi...

Abstract Background Bacterial cancer therapies have regained attention as a strategy to remodel the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Engineered bacteria equipped with tumor-targeting moieties can enhance i...

Objetivo: analisar a prevalência de vaginose bacteriana (VB) em mulheres inférteis e em menopausadas e os métodos mais comumente usados na prática clínica para o seu diagnóstico. Métodos: foram avaliadas retrospec...

Abstract Non-invasive fecal sampling is essential for molecular wildlife studies such as gut microbiome (GMB) research, yet field conditions often limit preservation options. To test the effects of preservation methods o...

Background: To overcome antibiotic resistance, there is an interest in improving or discovering novel classes of antibiotics from microorganisms that have different mechanisms of action worldwide. In Ethiopia, no signifi...

Expression of the bacterial luciferase (lux) system in mammalian cells would culminate in a new generation of bioreporters for in vivo monitoring and diagnostics technology. Past efforts to express bacterial luciferase i...

Zinc Selenide Nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated by the aqueous techneque using cold plasma under atmospheric pressure with an exposure time of 3 min and a gas flow rate of 3 liters per minute. films' structural charact...

Introduction: Ureteral Double J (DJ) stents are commonly used in urology to ensure urinary drainage. However, prolonged indwelling time increases the risk of bacterial colonisation and biofilm formation, which can lead t...

ABSTRACT The widespread deficiency of available phosphorus (P) in soils, particularly in tropical regions, necessitates the application of phosphate fertilizers due to their high adsorption. However, excessive use engend...

ABSTRACT Maize plants can establish beneficial associations with plant growth-promoting bacteria. However, few studies have been conducted on the characterization and inoculation of these bacteria in the Amazon region. T...

Contagens bacterianas de 179 amostras de leite cru refrigerado, provenientes de diferentes bacias leiteiras de Minas Gerais, foram realizadas pelos métodos de citometria de fluxo e contagem padrão em placas. O estudo d...

Objective: We aimed to characterise the liver tissue bacterial metataxonomic signature in two independent cohorts of patients with biopsy-proven non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) diagnosis, as differences in the ...

Abstract The study included thirty-six isolates of rhizobia bacteria were isolated from the nodules located on the roots of nine types of leguminous family plants that were planted in four areas of the city of Mosul for ...

Previous studies have suggested that macrophages may contribute to acute Leptospira dissemination, as well as having a major role in kidney fibrosis. Our aim was to characterize the role of macrophages and galectin 3 (Ga...

ABSTRACT The bacterial flagellar filament acts as a propeller to drive most bacterial swimming. The filament is made of flagellin, known as FliC in Escherichia coli. FliC consists of four domains, the highly conserved co...

The use of cellulose degrading enzyme (cellulases) for hydrolysis of lignocellulosic material is a part of bioethanol production process.  In this experiment,  delignified corncob,  its cellulose fraction and al...

Abstract This study evaluated the effects of Lactic acid bacteria and cellulase, individually and in combination, on fermentation quality and microbial community dynamics of alfalfa silage. Six treatments were tested, in...
