Immuno-affinity Amperometric Detection of Bacterial Infections

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

A combination of an immuno-affinity enrichment strategy and sensitive amperometric read-out was implemented in a point-of-care platform intended for bacterial infection analysis. Bacterial cells, selectively captured and enriched from complex matrices thro ...

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 ...

Antimicrobial resistance in leprosy: results of the first prospective open survey conducted by a WHO surveillance network for the period 2009-15

Stewart Cole

Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a priority for surveillance in bacterial infections. For leprosy, AMR has not been assessed because Mycobacterium leprae does not grow in vitro. We aim to obtain AMR data using molecular detection of resistance ...

Mitochondrial stress signalling and its impacts on physiology

Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis

Mitochondria are responsible for respiration and energy harvesting across the eukaryotic kingdom. They also take part in other cellular processes like intermediary metabolism. As a result, mitochondrial function directly impacts organismal features such as ...

Atomic Force Microscopy of Biological Systems: Quantitative Imaging and Nanomotion Detection

Petar Stupar

The core of this thesis is the application of different modalities of atomic force microscopy to study living systems. After a brief introduction, quantitative imaging state of the art is presented and the applications for mammalian, plant, bacterial, and ...

Single-cell division and killing dynamics of bacteria exposed to isocratic and time-dependent concentrations of antibiotic

Katrin Esther Schneider

Antibiotic resistance, defined as the ability of a bacteria to survive an antibiotic drug to which it was initially sensitive, has become increasingly worrying. While the discovery of antibiotics is considered to be one of the most important of all biomedi ...

Analysis of antibiotic multi-resistant bacteria and resistance genes in the effluent of an intensive shrimp farm (Long An, Vietnam)

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Pierre Rossi

In Vietnam, intensive shrimp farms heavily rely on a wide variety of antibiotics (ABs) to treat animals or prevent disease outbreak. Potential for the emergence of multi-resistant bacteria is high, with the concomitant contamination of adjacent natural aqu ...

The double-edged toxins : how Spiroplasma Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins affect Drosophila melanogaster life history traits

Mario Gonzalo Garcia Arraez

Many insect species are associated with endosymbiotic bacteria which have the particularity of living within host tissues. Endosymbionts benefit from this stable and nutritious environment, while providing ecological advantages to their host, such as prote ...

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

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 ...

Bacterial Whole Cell Typing by Mass Spectra Pattern Matching with Bootstrapping Assessment

Hubert Girault, Yu Lin, Liang Qiao

Bacterial typing is of great importance in clinical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, food safety analysis, and biological research. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) is now widely used to analyze bacterial samples ...
