Characterization of anti-inflammatory, anti-Streptococcus pyogenes and anti-biofilm activities of summer savory phytochemicals
(2015)Streptococcus pyogenes is a common cause of sore throat that requires clinical intervention. Antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are often prescribed to inhibit the growth of bacteria and relieve pain, ... -
Construction and Characterization of a Single-Chain Variable Fragment Antibody Library against Fusobacterium nucleatum
(2012-08-09)Dental plaque forms sequentially, with Fusobacterium nucleatum facilitating the adhesion of pathogenic late colonizers. We hypothesize that a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody library will enable the identification ... -
IMPACT OF MANGANESE ON CORROSION CONTROL AND BIOFILM FORMATION IN DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
(2019-04-12)The fate of manganese in distribution, along with its impact on biomass accumulation and lead release was investigated at the bench-scale. Confirmation of manganese-biofouling of the JD Kline Water Supply Plant’s raw water ... -
Inhibition of Single and Mixed Species Biofilms Formed by Listeria monocytogenes and Food Related Bacteria by Natural Compounds
(2015)Pathogenic bacteria, such as Listeria monocytogenes, are easily transferred from biofilms on processing equipment to foods, causing many foodborne outbreaks and illnesses. The antimicrobial and anti-biofilm effects of ... -
The Use of Selected Phytochemicals to Control Listeria monocytogenes; Practical Applications in Food Safety
(2021-01-07)Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen found in minimally processed foods, such as dairy products. To improve detection methods, phytochemicals were screened against L. monocytogenes and L. innocua. ... -
