Biochar when applied into soil, together with soil clay minerals, may provide habitats for soil microbes and shift soil microbial community structure. Although several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the effects of biochar on microbial community, the impact of biochar on quorum sensing (QS) and QS-regulated behavior is poorly understood. I...

The ESKAPE (Enterococcus spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp.) isolates both from the clinical settings and food products are demonstrated to gain resistance to multiple antimicrobials. Therefore, the ESKAPE pathogens pose a serious threat to public health, which ...

The worldwide rising number of joint replacements results in increasing revision surgery including a relevant portion of septic loosening accompanied by bone deficiencies. Loading of allogeneic bone with antibiotics provides high local antibiotic concentrations and might eradicate bacteria which appear resistant to systemic antibiotic application. ...

In this study, transcriptional level gene expression changes in biofilm forms of Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 14028 and its dam mutant were investigated by performing RNAseq analysis. As a result of these analyzes, a total of 233 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the dam mutant, of which 145 genes were downregulated and 88 gen...

Betadine (Povidone-Iodine) solution is a topically applied antiseptic, which has been used routinely used in wound care and general surgery to prevent skin and wound infections. However, several studies have documented the ineffectiveness of betadine. Other topical antimicrobial dressings, including those that contain silver, have been used in the ...

In cystic fibrosis individuals, chronic lung infections and hospital-acquired pneumonia are caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. P. aeruginosa generates siderophores such as pyoverdine (PVD) as iron uptake systems to cover its needs of iron ions for growth and infection. lasR quorum sensing (QS) gene has a crucial function in PVD production and biofil...

In recent years, there has been an increasing concern related to the contamination of aqueous ecosystems by heavy metals, highlighting the need to improve the current techniques for remediation. This work intends to address the problem of removing heavy metals from waterbodies by combining two complementary methodologies: adsorption to a copolymer ...

The use of metal-based and, particularly, Al2O3 nanoparticles (Al2O3-NP) for diverse purposes is exponentially growing. However, the growth of such promissory market is not accompanied by a parallel extensive investigation related to the impact of this pollution on groundwater and biological systems. Pseudomonas species, ubiquitous, environmentally...

Iron is an essential micronutrient for most living organisms, including cyanobacteria. These microorganisms have been found in Earth's driest polar and non-polar deserts, including the Atacama Desert, Chile. Iron-containing minerals were identified in colonized rock substrates from the Atacama Desert, however, the interactions between microorganism...
