Approach: Activated sludge samples were collected from Riyadh wastewater plant and analyzed quantitatively for the presence of important bacterial parameters including fecal … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,006 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAntibacterial Activity of Marine Source Extracts Against Multidrug Resistance OrganismsNagi A. AL-Haj, Nurmas I. Mashan, Mariana N. Shamsudin et al.Problem statement: Antimicrobial resistance is the major problem of global dimensions with a significant impact on morbidity, mortality and healthcare-associated costs. The problem has recently been worsened by the steady increase in multiresistant strains and by the restriction of antibiotic discovery and development programs. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, pseudomonads and Escherichia coli are a major nosocomial and community-acquired pathogens for which … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,073 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMultidrug Resistant Microorganisms (MDR) and Biofilm Producers: A Challenge for Hospital Infectious ControlDaniel Lucio, Elizabeth Proaño, Alberto Bustillos et al.Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) now represents a major threat to contemporary health care, especially in hospitals, where repeated antimicrobial exposure selects for and facilitates the dissemination of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) microorganisms. Biofilm growth adds another layer of persistence by increasing microbial tolerance, supporting long-term colonization of medical devices, and worsening clinical and economic outcomes. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on MDR biofilm-forming … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2026 · 774 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIncreasing the Critical Micellar Concentration (CMC) of Surfactants Enhances the Removal of Pathogenic Bacteria, P. Aeruginosa, and S. Aureus from WastewaterImen Laadouze, Emna Grami et al.Antimicrobial effects of increasing Critical Micellar Concentration (CMCn) (n varying from 1-12) on Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 over time of 5-, 10, and 20-minute exposures were evaluated. Three types of surfactants (Cetyltrime Thylammonium Ammonium Bromide (CTAB), Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), and TX-100) were evaluated. The results showed that CTAB had the greatest impact on both bacterial … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 8 May 2026 · 1,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnalysis of Indoor CO2 Concentration Using Split Ventilation Systems as an Indicator of COVID-19 TransmissionManuel Batista, Oscar Bulgim, Ericka Matus et al.We measured the indoor CO2 concentration in occupied areas with ventilation systems that recirculate air without an external air supply. The average time required to achieve the highest probability of contagion was also measured based on the number of participants in the group. Three different experimental groups were evaluated: Group One (G1), which included 5 participants; Group Two (G2), with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 23 Aug 2023 · 6,051 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFood Safety in the Production and Consumption of Fish: The Case of Vibrio VulnificusAlejandro De Jesús Cortés-Sánchez, Luis Daniel Espinosa-Chaurand, Mayra Diaz-Ramirez et al.Foodborne Diseases (FD) constitute a major global public healthchallenge due to their incidence and relatedmortality. Bacteria are frequently related to the generation of FD outbreaks.Fish is a highly nutritious food that is marketed and consumed globally.However, they are also susceptible to deterioration and contamination due to biologicalhazards related to unsanitary conditions and practices occurring throughout thefood chain.
