Microbiological contamination of cosmetic products - observations from Europe, 2005-2018

Florentino Luciano Caetano Dos Santos

Background Although cosmetic products are not expected to be fully aseptic, their potential microbiological contamination might be dangerous, especially for immunocompromised patients. The extent of such contamination of cosmetics in Europe is poorly studi ...

Synergy and remarkable specificity of antimicrobial peptides in vivo using a systematic knockout approach

Bruno Lemaitre, Camilla Carla Alma Ceroni, Mark Austin Hanson, Anna Dostalova

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are host-encoded antibiotics that combat invading microorganisms. These short, cationic peptides have been implicated in many biological processes, primarily involving innate immunity. In vitro studies have shown AMPs kill bac ...

Resonant optical trapping in hollow photonic crystal cavities and its potential use for bacterial characterisation

Rita Therisod

During the last decade, the development of optofluidic chips has become a large field of research. The integration of nano and microstructures with microfluidics layers allowed for the miniaturisation of a number of tools traditionally used in laboratories ...

Detection of bacteria

Hubert Girault, Horst Pick, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Milica Jovic, Yingdi Zhu

A method for bacteria detection and the assessment of the antimicrobial susceptibility profile uses a bacterial viability assay based on combining a highly efficient affinity bacteria enrichment/ separation with an electrochemical redox interrogation measu ...

Chromate tolerance and removal of bacterial strains isolated from uncontaminated and chromium-polluted environments

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Imrich Barak, Zuzana Chromiková

Investigation of bacterial chromate tolerance has mostly focused on strains originating from polluted sites. In the present study, we isolated 33 chromate tolerant strains from diverse environments harbouring varying concentrations of chromium (Cr). All of ...

Bacterial traps and advances in nanobiotechnology for atomic force microscopy

Oliver Peric

The atomic force microscope (AFM) allows the analysis of living microorganisms in physiological conditions on the nanometer scale. The observation of bacteria in physiological aqueous medium necessitates a robust immobilization of the bacterium to the surf ...

Gram-type differentiation of bacteria with 2D hollow photonic crystal cavities

Romuald Houdré, Rita Therisod, El Hadji Malick Camara

Fast and label-free techniques to analyze viruses and bacteria are of crucial interest in biological and bio-medical applications. For this purpose, optofluidic systems based on the integration of photonic structures with microfluidic layers were shown to ...

Solar photo-Fenton disinfection of 11 antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and elimination of representative AR genes. Evidence that antibiotic resistance does not imply resistance to oxidative treatment

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Truong-Thien Melvin Le

The emergence of antibiotic resistance represents a major threat to human health. In this work we investigated the elimination of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) by solar light and solar photo-Fenton processes. As such, we have designed an experimental ...
