(2016-08-29)Applying a risk assessment framework, such as quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA), can be used to estimate the human health risk associated with recreation in a waterbody impaired for elevated levels of fecal ...
-
(2010-10-12)The transportation of organisms in the ballast water of cargo ships has been recognized as a source of invasive species despite current control measures. Pathogenic bacteria in the ballast tank have been studied but the ...
-
(1997)Infectious bacteria are all around us at all times. They are on every surface and are microscopic. These microorganisms are the cause of disease among elementary school children. This research analyzes the impact that ...

(2017-08-16)Campylobacter rectus is a Gram-negative oral anaerobe and a causative agent of periodontitis. Additionally, C. rectus strains have been isolated from patients with oral and extraoral abscesses, gingival crevices, and ...
-
(2018-01-17)Staphylococcus spp. are important causes of skin and systemic infections in people, dogs, and horses. In dogs, S. pseudintermedius is the most common cause of pyoderma. Staphylococcus aureus exfoliative toxin (ET) genes ...
-
(2016-07-27)Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are typically incapable of addressing the influx of antibiotics (AB), and may act as a harbor for the selection and proliferation of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB). In order to examine ...
-
(2018-08-03)Bacillus subtilis is a soil bacterium capable of differentiating into a spore form resistant to both desiccation and heat. Sporulation begins with a single cell possessing two copies of a single, circular genome arranged ...
-
(2019-08-06)The nucleus is the brain of the cell and is the site of regulation of processes such as DNA replication, transcription and cell cycle. Given its importance in cell function, several known bacterial proteins have been shown ...

Design, testing and optimization of a microfluidic device for capture and concentration of bacteria (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Effective detection of bacterial pathogens in large sample volumes is a challenging problem. Pre-concentration routines currently in practice before the actual detection process are cumbersome and hard to automate. An ...
-
(2016-05-05)Most of the illnesses in this world are caused by bacterial infections. Thus, their in situ detection and identification is a matter of worldwide concern in human pathology. This MS thesis research presents the in situ ...
-
(2018-12-07)Nanoparticles and nanostructured materials have attracted great interest for treating bacteria as a potential chemical-free method. This research carries out experiments to evaluate the antibacterial properties of nanoparticles ...
-
(2013-05-10)An average of three to five billion tons of ballast water (BW) is transported globally per year; 79 million tons of which is released into U. S. waters. Ballast water is necessary for large ships to maintain balance and ...
-
(2013-02-04)In addition to their primary biological function, many proteins are at least moderately capable of catalyzing secondary, promiscuous activities that may have a major role in enzyme evolution. Mounting evidence supports the ...

Bacterial infections cause thousands of deaths every year. A method for fast, in situ detection of bacteria and confirmation of their live/dead status would be invaluable. Excitation-emission matrices (EEMs) and synchronous ...
-
(2015-08-19)Ionizing radiation is used for many different applications that require a reduction in microbial bioburden. Yet, the scientific literature remains unsettled when it comes to the relative biological effectiveness or kill ...
-
(2023-05-03)Galvanized steel is commonly used in food production processes and also as food shelving and bench surfaces because zinc provides enhanced corrosion resistance. However, upon exposure to fungus, bacteria and their metabolites, ...
