Synthesis and photodynamic antimicrobial activity of amphiphilic meso-arylporphyrins with pyridyl moieties
In this work we report on the synthesis of new cationic pyridyl-containing meso-arylporphyrins and their antimicrobial photodynamic activity against Gram-positive (S. aureus) and Gram-negative (E. coli) bacteria in planktonic and […]
Nanomaterial with High Antimicrobial Efficacy – Copper/Polyaniline Nanocomposite
This study explores different mechanisms of antimicrobial action by designing hybrid nanomaterials that provide a new approach in the fight against resistant microbes. Here, we present a cheap copper–polyaniline (Cu–PANI) […]
The microbial resistance of polymer dispersions and the efficacy of polymer dispersion biocides – a statistically validated method
The biodeterioration of water-based manufactured formulations, such as polymer dispersions, is a major problem for the producing companies and the users of such products. Industrial preservatives, also known as biocides, […]
Intra- and inter-species interactions within biofilms of important foodborne bacterial pathogens.
A community-based sessile life style is the normal mode of growth and survival for many bacterial species. Under such conditions, cell-to-cell interactions are inevitable and ultimately lead to the establishment […]
Fabrication of Oxide Layer on Zirconium by Micro-Arc Oxidation: Structural and Antimicrobial Characteristics
The aim of this study was to cover the surfaces of zirconium (Zr) with an antimicrobial layer for biomedical applications. For this purpose, the micro-arc oxidation (MAO) process was employed […]
Phenotypic and molecular characterization of multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Hadar in Greece, from 2007 to 2010
All 120 strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Hadar isolated during 2007–2010 in Greece were characterized by phenotypic and molecular methods. High rates of resistance to nalidixic acid (92%) and low […]
