Acute bacterial meningitis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality among children less than five years old. Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis are the most important agents ...

The bacterial expression of glycoproteins has experienced significant progress in recent years, particularly in regard to the production of conjugate vaccines against pathogens. In this case, a protein carrier conjugated ...

Horizontal gene transfer has been recognized as one of the principal contributors to bacterial evolution and diversification. One of the mechanisms involved in this process is conjugative transfer of plasmids and Integrative ...

Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) protocols using photoactive metallated porphyrin-doped conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) and blue light were developed to eliminate multidrug-resistant pathogens. CPNs-PDI protocols ...

This thesis presents a model based on cellular automata and evolutionary computation, the purpose of the model is to abstract the behaviour and properties of a bacterial colony. In the bacterial colony, each bacterium has ...
