Manual MGIT system for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: insights from a high TB burden setting
(International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2016)
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of manual MGIT (MMGIT) compared to the gold standard, Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ), in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in a high-burden setting. METHODS: Individuals ...
Influence of water activity and temperature on the growth of Wallemia sebi: Application of a predictive model
(Elsevier Science, 2001-08)
Germination and growth of Wallemia sebi were examined on media of aw adjusted with glycerol in the range of 0.96-0.77, at 25°C and 30°C. The effect of temperature on the germination time was significant except between 0.95 ...
An ordinal logistic regression approach to predict the variability on biofilm formation stages by five Salmonella enterica strains on polypropylene and glass surfaces as affected by pH, temperature and NaCl

Comparison among growth model of interacting microorganism : a lactic acid bacteria and Listeria monocytogenes
(Elsevier, 2017-10-30)
Predictive food microbiology is normally based on mathematical models to predict the growth, inactivation or probability of microorganism growth which can be applied to establish the shelf-life of food. At present the ...
Evaluation of a lens-free imager to facilitate tuberculosis diagnostics in MODS
(Elsevier, 2015)
Tuberculosis (TB) control efforts are hampered by a mismatch in diagnostic technology. Lack of adequate early diagnostics and Multi-drug resistant (MDR) detection is a critical problem in control efforts. Alternate and ...
Genetic algorithm applied to parameter estimation of bacterial growth modeling
(Elsevier, 2016-11-14)
Predictive microbiology is nowadays one of the main tools to understand microbial interactions and to assess the quantitative risk in foods. Several models have been developed in order to predict microorganism growth. The ...
Tree encroachment into savannas alters soil microbiological and chemical properties facilitating forest expansion
(2016-10-01)
Forests have been expanding over typical savanna sites for the past 3000 years in the Neotropics. Such invasion can produce a series of environmental modifications on typical savanna; however, it remains unclear how ...
Sputum cytology in the diagnosis of pulmonary paracoccidioidomycosis
(1991-06-01)
The presence of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis was determined in sputum samples from 50 patients with paracoccidioidomycosis using four different techniques: (a) cell-block preparations stained with silver methenamine, (b) ...
