Bacterial diversity dominates variable macrophage responses of tuberculosis patients in Tanzania

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) comprises nine human-adapted lineages that differ in their geographical distribution. Local adaptation of specific MTBC genotypes to the respective human host population has been invoked in this context. We aim ...

Microtissue models for studying the dynamics of host-pathogen interactions in the urinary bladder

Kunal Sharma

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are amongst the most common bacterial infections and are the second-most frequent reason for antibiotic prescriptions. Moreover, in about 25% of all treated cases, recurrence of infection occurs. Uropathogenic Escherichia co ...

Photocatalytic degradation of binary and ternary mixtures of antibiotics: reactive species investigation in pilot scale

Sami Rtimi

The present study investigates the photocatalytic degradation of three quinolone antibiotics (i.e., Flumequine (FLU), Oxolinic Acid (OA) and Nalidixic Acid (NA)) in mono-, binary and ternary compound systems. The closed-loop step photo-reactor and TiO2 imp ...

E-coli-MS2 bacteriophage interactions during solar disinfection of wastewater and the subsequent post-irradiation period

César Pulgarin, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Stefanos Giannakis, Margaux Océane Voumard

In this study, the effect of MS2 bacteriophage on the inactivation of its Escherichia coli host was evaluated in an effort to recreate some the main factors governing solar disinfection of wastewater (namely microbial growth, infection, photonic flux). As ...

Steel Wire Mesh as a Thermally Resistant SERS Substrate

Tomasz Radoslaw Szymborski

In this paper, we present novel type of Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) platform, based on stainless steel wire mesh (SSWM) covered with thin silver layer. The stainless steel wire mesh, typically used in chemical engineering industry, is a chea ...

Multiplexed nanoplasmonic biosensor for one-step simultaneous detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae in urine

Hatice Altug, Maria Soler Aznar, Andrea Cavallini, Alexander Belushkin

Development of rapid and multiplexed diagnostic tools is a top priority to address the current epidemic problem of sexually transmitted diseases. Here we introduce a novel nanoplasmonic biosensor for simultaneous detection of the two most common bacterial ...

Broad-spectrum Antiviral Nanoparticles : a morphological CryoEM Study on the Interaction of Nanoparticles and Viruses

Marie Müller

Viral infections affect millions of people every year, yet broad-spectrum virucidal therapies are not available. Antiviral substances in current use act on specific viral mechanisms against only a small number of viruses. Virustatic materials interfere wit ...

Dental Phenotype in Jalili Syndrome Due to a c.1312 dupC Homozygous Mutation in the CNNM4 Gene

Jalili syndrome denotes a recessively inherited combination of an eye disease (cone-rod dystrophy) and a dental disorder (amelogenesis imperfecta), which is caused by mutations in the CNNM4 gene. Whereas the ophthalmic consequences of these mutations have ...
