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 sediment, sewage and 0157 E. coli: a comparison of their virulence genes, biofilm forming capacities, antibiotic resistance and level of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
(2018)Even though sediment Escherichia coli is a common source of contamination in freshwater environments, their virulence and physiological characteristics are not well studied. The goal of this study was to compare the virulence ... -
Effect of periphytic Escherichia coli and lake water bacterial population on the biofilm establishment of a Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 strain
(2015)Biofilm studies Escherichia coli (E. coli) have typically focused on 0157:H7 in defined, laboratory medium. While there is value in such studies, they offer little in the way of explaining the behaviour and interactions ... -
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 ...
