Clinical evaluation of tuberculosis viability microscopy for assessing treatment response
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
Background: It is difficult to determine whether early tuberculosis treatment is effective in reducing the infectiousness of patients' sputum, because culture takes weeks and conventional acid-fast sputum microscopy and ...
Effects of Ascent to High Altitude on Human Antimycobacterial Immunity
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Tuberculosis infection, disease and mortality are all less common at high than low altitude and ascent to high altitude was historically recommended for treatment. The immunological and mycobacterial mechanisms underlying ...
Impact of inulin and okara on Lactobacillus acidophilus La-5 and Bifidobacterium animalis Bb-12 viability in a fermented soy product and probiotic survival under in vitro simulated gastrointestinal conditions
(2013-06-01)
The effect of inulin and/or okara flour on Lactobacillus acidophilus La-5 and Bifidobacterium animalis Bb-12 viability in a fermented soy product (FSP) and on probiotic survival under in vitro simulated gastrointestinal ...
Influence of different buffers (HEPES/MOPS) on keratinocyte cell viability and microbial growth
(2016-06-01)
This study assessed the effect of the buffers 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) and 3-(N-morpholino) propanesulfonic acid (MOPS) on keratinocyte cell viability and microbial growth. It was observed ...
Photodynamic inactivation of biofilm: Taking a lightly colored approach to stubborn infection
(2013-07-01)
Microbial biofilms are responsible for a variety of microbial infections in different parts of the body, such as urinary tract infections, catheter infections, middle-ear infections, gingivitis, caries, periodontitis, ...
