Combining Fluidic Devices with Microscopy and Flow Cytometry to Study Microbial Transport in Porous Media Across Spatial Scales

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, David Scheidweiler

Understanding the transport, dispersion and deposition of microorganisms in porous media is a complex scientific task comprising topics as diverse as hydrodynamics, ecology and environmental engineering. Modeling bacterial transport in porous environments ...

Mass Spectrometry Methods for Bacterial Infection Diagnosis and Cancer Analysis

Yingdi Zhu

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry is an important analytical tool in chemistry and biology. Bearing the advantages of easy-to-use, fast measurements and relatively simple data interpretation, MALDI-T ...

Population Structure, Molecular Epidemiology, and beta-Lactamase Diversity among Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Isolates in the United States

Luciano Andres Abriata

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a Gram-negative, nonfermenting, environmental bacillus that is an important cause of nosocomial infections, primarily associated with the respiratory tract in the immunocompromised population. Aiming to understand the popula ...

A Rapid Unraveling of the Activity and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Mycobacteria

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Giovanni Longo, Leonardo Venturelli

The development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a worldwide health-related emergency that calls for new tools to study the bacterial metabolism and to obtain fast diagnoses. Indeed, the conventional analysis time scale is too long and affects our abili ...

Photoinduced disinfection in sunlit natural waters: Measurement of the second order inactivation rate constants between E-coli and photogenerated transient species

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis

This work uncovers the implications of the estimation of exogenous inactivation rates for E. coli after the initial lag phase, and presents a strategy for the determination of the second-order inactivation rate constants (k2nd) of these bacteria with relev ...

Characterization of Efficiency and Mechanisms of Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Decontamination of Seeds for Sprout Production

Alexandra Waskow

The consumption of fresh fruit and vegetable products has strongly increased during the past few decades. However, inherent to all minimally processed products is the short shelf life, and the risk of foodborne diseases, which have been increasingly relate ...

A Microfluidic Platform Enables Large-Scale Single-Cell Screening to Identify Genes Involved in Bacterial Persistence

Amanda Verpoorte

Persistent cells, representing a small fraction of a bacterial population, are refractory to antibiotic therapy. It is a phenotypic transient state. The underlying mechanisms of persistence remain largely unknown, but even divergent hypotheses agree on a f ...
