Silver-doped organic−inorganic hybrid coatings were prepared starting from tetraethoxysilane- and triethoxysilane-terminated poly(ethylene glycol)-block-polyethylene by the sol−gel process. They applied as a thin layer (0.6−1.1 μm) to polyethylene (PE) poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) films antibacterial activity of coated was tested against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922) Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus 6538) bacteria. The effect several factors (such ratio, type catalyst, time...
Food products can be contaminated by a variety of pathogenic and spoilage microbiota
In this study, the activity of essential oils (EOs) against microorganisms involved in oral diseases was evaluated. Fourteen EOs were selected and subjected to gas chromatographic analysis, including Illicium verum, Eucaliptus globulus, Eugenia caryophyllata, Leptospermum scoparium, Mentha arvensis, piperita, Myrtus communis, Salvia officinalis, Melaleuca alternifolia, Rosmarinus Lavandula x intermedia, Thymus capitatus vulgaris. These tested for their antimicrobial on Streptococcus mutans...
The aim of this investigation was the surface functionalization industrial ceramic tiles by sol‐gel technique to improve at same time cleanability and antibacterial activity surfaces. This objective pursued through design preparation nanostructured titania‐silver coating that deposited on glazed, unglazed, polished air‐brushing. obtained results showed applied coatings are transparent, show a good adhesion, remarkable under tested conditions. photocatalicity optimized with higher thermal...
The antibacterial activity of Pimpinella anisum L., Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Syzygium aromaticum, and Cuminum cyminum L. essential oils (EOs) against some common pathogenic microorganisms (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Staphylococcus epidermidis 14990, Enterococcus faecalis 29212, Streptococcus pyogenes 1915, Escherichia coli 8739, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 27853, Aeromonas hydrophila 7966, Proteus mirabilis 10005, Klebsiella pneumoniae 13883, Candida albicans 10231) their biofilms was...
Abstract We investigated the presence of ESBL and AmpC‐producing Enterobacteriaceae isolated from 200 rectal swabs healthy swine samples ground pork. Phenotypic testing by using double synergy differential test (DSDT) for ESBL/AmpC‐positive strains was confirmed PCR DNA sequence analysis. The localization beta‐lactamase genes established conjugation experiments. and/or found in 52.2% (95/182) isolates collected 3% (3/100) obtained pork samples. Polymerase chain reaction sequencing bla TEM‐20...
We investigated the occurrence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), AmpC, and carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria isolated from 160 samples fresh vegetables (n = 80) ready-to-eat (RTE) prepacked salads 80). Phenotypic genotypic analyses were carried out on isolates in terms species present relative resistance. Resistance to β-lactam antibiotics was found only 44 (24 20 RTE salads) a total 312 strains (14.1%). The prevalence ESBL-producing 83.3% (20/24) 16.7% (4/24) for AmpC....
Three hundred and two enterococci were isolated from food, animal clinical samples in order to evaluate the incidence of vancomycin-resistant (VRE) bacteriocin, cytolysin, haemolysin, gelatinase production.Among isolates, 27 (8.9%) VRE, 17 (63%) these showed, by deferred antagonism method, bacteriocin production against gram-positive some gram-negative indicators. Eight producers displayed polymerase chain reaction an enterocin structural gene: six Enterococcus faecium Enterocin A, faecalis...
