Campylobacter jejuni : biofilm formation and oxidative stress
(2009)Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is a zoonotic pathogen most often associated with poultry and the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in the developed world. It is an obligate microaerobe, requiring low levels of ... -
Characterization of Campylobacter jejuni growing in biofilms under different conditions
(2005)The viability of C. jejuni biofilms growing in different conditions was investigated by conventional plate counts and microscopy after nucleic acid staining. Differences were detected for each condition tested. However, ... -
Characterization of genetic determinants for growth and structure of Listeria monocytogenes biofilms / by Nicholas Choy.
(2007, c200)This thesis investigated wild-type 'Listeria monocytogenes ' EGD and five of its corresponding mutant strains (M1, M4, M7, M11 and M14) for their ability to form biofilms on glass at 22°C and 37°C, with and without shear ... -
Detection of Campylobacter jejuni in poultry samples using Florescent in situ Hybridization (FISH)
(2004)In this study, a protocol using Fluorescent in situ Hybridization (FISH) for the detection of Campylobacter spp., particularly C. jejuni, in naturally contaminated poultry samples was developed and its application evaluated. ... -
Expression of oxidative stress response genes in Campylobacter jejuni biofilms / by David Andrew Brookes.
(2007)'Campylobacter jejuni' is a Gram-negative microaerophilic bacterium that is widely believed to be the number one cause of food borne gastroenteritis and diarrhea caused by bacteria. The ability to form biofilms may provide ... -
Interaction of Pseudomonas putida and Listeria monocytogenes in mixed culture biofilms / by Greg Kepka.
(2008)"Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen that causes problems in many food processing plants because it produces biofilms and thus is difficult to control by regular cleaning and sanitizing procedures. It has been ... -
Modulation of Listeria monocytogenes biofilms by Pseudomonas spp. secreted substances / by Lauren Davey.
(2008)Listeria monocytogenes, a food-borne pathogen associated with severe disease, forms resistant biofilms which enable it to persist in food processing environments. Recently, surface active compounds and other microbially ... -
Molecular analysis of bacterial diversity on central venous catheters recovered from cancer patients
(2005)Central venous catheters (CVC) are a known source of nosocomial blood stream infections. However, standard cultivation methods to identify causal pathogens of catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSI) on catheters ... -
Nanomaterials based electrochemical approaches for biosensing and bacterial disinfection
(2017)Electrochemical approaches to myriad medical and environmental challenges are highly attractive due to their strong potential for extensive and green applications. Point of care diagnostics through the electrochemical ... -
Physiological adaptations contributing to stress survival in the foodborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni
(2015-06-15)n spite of being considered fragile and fastidious, the zoonotic pathogen Campylobacter jejuni remains the leading cause of foodborne bacterial gastroenteritis in the developed world. Lacking many of the stress responses ... -
Pulp and paper mill bacteria as a potential source of novel encapsulation materials / by Peter R. Godin.
(2008)"A total of 194 bacteria were isolated from pulp and paper biofilms from a mill in Thunder Bay, Canada. Diversity of the 194 bacteria indicated that the amounts of bacteria found in these biofilms may be influenced by ... -
Study of host pathogen interactions using a model of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of lung epithelial cells / by Rebecca Barnes.
(2008)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pulmonary pathogen that can cause acute, life-threatening pneumonia in immunocompromised individuals, it is a common cause of high-mortality ventilator associated pneumonia, and ...
