Escherichia coli is an important commensal of our gut, however, many pathogenic strains exist, causing various severe infections in the gut or beyond. Due to several antibiotic resistance patterns E. coli, research alternative treatments adjuvant therapy important. One these use probiotics as antagonistic agents against coli. Most published studies investigate only one strain and single-strain probiotics. The objectives this study were evaluate activity selected multi-strain probiotic...

Fermented foods made through microbial growth and enzymatic conversions have been integral to human diets for at least 10,000 years. Recent interest in fermented has surged due their functional properties health benefits. Cruciferous vegetables of the genus Brassica, such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, are commonly used produce like sauerkraut, kimchi, pao cai, turnips, others. These rich lactic acid bacteria (LAB) bioactive compounds, which contribute potential health-promoting...

Weizmannia coagulans, previously known as Bacillus coagulans and before that Lactobacillus sporogenes, is a spore-forming, lactic acid-producing, Gram-positive, bacillus-shaped bacterial species with several probiotic strains, including GBI-30, 6086 Unique IS-2, MTCC 5856, LBSC (DSM 17654), TBC169, SNZ 1969, BC30, T11. This review focusses on the health benefit of these strains. A total 53 clinical trials were found to use various strains coagulans. However, 19 did not provide strain...

The skin is the largest organ in human body and colonized by a diverse microbiota that works harmony to protect skin. However, when damage occurs, also disrupted, pathogens can invade wound cause infection. Probiotics or other beneficial microbes their metabolites are one possible alternative treatment for combating via antimicrobial effectiveness. objective of our study was evaluate effect seven multi-strain dietary supplements eleven single-strain contain probiotics against 15 clinical...

Detecting microorganisms on textiles is useful for many purposes, example to determine the bioburden before laundering, assess reduction in bacterial counts connection with various laundry processes, or trace transfer routes infection control investigations. Therefore a validated, reproducible and rational method needed. For sampling textile surfaces most commonly used contact plate using RODAC plates, first described by Hall Hartnett followed swab technique. Both methods can only capture...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival three challenge bacteria stored at 25℃, 5℃, and 50℃ up 21 days on 100% cotton textile swatches. each chosen determined by classical phenotype colony counting method through growth selective media, molecular detecting Staphylococcus aureus-, Enterococcus faecium-, Pseudomonas aeruginosa-specific DNA. E. faecium proved be most persistent all storage temperatures. Both S. aureus survived swatches 25℃ highest inoculum. P. aeruginosa persisted...

Protective clothing is required in the food-processing industry, to protect workers from contamination by bacteria, fungi, viruses, prions etc. contained secretions and raw meat of slaughtered animals, being contaminated microorganisms carried workers. It well-understood that textiles are a control point (CP), must be appropriately cleaned disinfected order prevent biocontamination. Although laundering procedure itself important for achieving disinfection, it also essential maintain an...

Every laundry is determined to maintain or constantly improve the quality of its services. This defined by parameters that are standard methods. With help different industrial laundries some research on influence laundering procedure laundered fabrics was conducted. For this purpose cotton were 50 times 25 times, respectively, certain procedures. After laundering, assessed determining decrease in breaking strength, chemical wear, incineration residue, Ganz degree whiteness, lightness and...
