BackgroundAgricultural runoff recycling systems are manmade aquatic ecosystems of growing significance to global water sustainability, crop health, and production. This study investigated the seasonal dynamics of microbial community in a three-reservoir recycling irrigation system with a stepwise water flow and compared with that of an adjacent run...

Bacterial biofilms are multicellular aggregates enclosed in a self-created biopolymer matrix. Biofilm-producing bacteria have become a great public health problem worldwide because biofilms enable these microorganisms to evade several clearance mechanisms produced by host and synthetic sources. Over the past years, different flavonoids including qu...

BackgroundDue to rapid development of microbial resistance against chemotherapeutic agents (mostly antibiotics), it has become essential currently to screen effective, safe, cheap, and available therapeutics from various medicinal plants—like herbs—for their potential antimicrobial effect.AimTo estimate the antibacterial activity of aqueous, ethano...

BackgroundAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is widely acknowledged as a global health problem, yet in many parts of the world its magnitude is not well elucidated. A baseline assessment of the AMR prevalence is a priority for implementation of laboratory-based AMR surveillance This review, focused on a One health approach, aimed at describing the curr...

Integration of physicochemical and biological approach represented by sequential application of nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI dispersion) and bioaugmentation by bacterial strains isolated from the PCB-contaminated site seems to be an innovative way to remove the PCB contamination, which still persists in the environment. First, nanoremediation of...

Livestock manures are potential sources of antibiotics in the environment. Sulfamethazine (SMZ), frequently used in veterinary medicine, can enter the environment by using manure as soil fertilizer due to its incomplete absorption in the animal gut and its unmetabolized excretion. The objective of this study was to evaluate the mineralization of 14...

BackgroundSeasonal variation has been observed for various bacterial and viral infections. We aimed to further study seasonality of respiratory viruses and bacterial pathogens in relation to antibiotic use, as well as meteorological parameters.MethodsAn ecologic study of antibiotic exposure, meteorological parameters, detection of respiratory virus...

Heavy metals polluted soils have turned out to be a common environmental problem across the globe due to their toxic effects and accumulation through the food chain. Heavy metals have lethal effects on all forms of life. For instance, plants grown on heavy metal polluted soil show a reduction in growth and yields. A surge in anthropogenic activitie...

Outdoor algal cultivation is frequently limited by bacterial contaminants. The aim of this study was to develop a biological control technique for removing bacterial contaminants using a small-size ciliate. During the cultivation of Chlorella sp. HS2 in a designed raceway pond, the bacterial population was significantly reduced by the ciliate strai...

An in vitro simulated chicken gut model was proposed for studying the phytase activity of selected bacteria such as Streptococcus thermophilus, Sporosarcina pasteurii, Sporosarcina globispora, and Sporosarcina psychrophila using known probiotic bacterium, Lactobacillus helveticus as a control. The selected bacteria were viable in the intestinal lum...
