BackgroundPatients admitted to intensive care units are frequently exposed to pathogenic microorganisms present in their environment. Exposure to these microbes may lead to the development of hospital-acquired infections...

Gold nanoparticles have many applications in the biomedical field, mainly for drug delivery, cancer therapy, and detection of pathogenic microorganisms. In this study, gold nanoparticles synthesized using Platycodon gran...

Probiotics are live microorganisms that when properly administered confer a health benefit to the host. Lactic acid bacteria are among the main microorganisms recognized as probiotics. Not all lactic bacteria are conside...

The rhizosphere is one of the most dynamic biological environments on Earth. Within this narrow zone surrounding plant roots, plants interact constantly with diverse communities of microorganisms including bacteria, fung...

Pathogenic microorganisms can reside transiently or permanently in the gallbladder of cattle. Thus, during slaughter, more attention should be given to the gastrointestinal tract, especially to the accessory organ, the g...

In recent years， quantitative microbial risk assessment （QMRA） for food safety has developed rapidly both domestically and internationally. QMRA integrates multidisciplinary theoretical knowledge and technical meth...

BackgroundHospital-acquired infections such as nosocomial pneumonia are a serious cause of mortality for hospitalized patients, especially for those admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). Despite the number of the stud...

Microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD) method was employed to extract cinnamon oil and hydrosol (a byproduct). The total polyphenol content (TPC) of the cinnamon hydrosol (CH) was determined using the Folin-Ciocalte...

Introduction: Water is a precious substance that sustains life on our planet. Nowadays, the quantity and quality of this natural resource is threatened by the global warming, industrialization and urbanization. Purpose:...

Abstract In the present study, we determined the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of porcine blood plasma proteins, albumin, and globulin hydrolyzed by six proteases (alcalase, neutrase, flavourzyme, protamex, trypsin, and papa...

ABSTRACT Mycoplasma bovis is a highly infectious pathogenic microorganism that causes various clinical signs in cattle, including pneumonia, arthritis, and mastitis, often resulting in significant economic losses. The ad...
