Abstract

A study was made of the effects of high temperatures and glutaraldehyde on the spores and vegetative cells of Str. thermovulgaris strain 127. It was determined at what treatment times for different temperatures and glutaraldehyde concentrations the spore germination and vegetative cell growth stopped. A high heat stability was found for glucose isomerase, the loss in enzymatic activity increasing with the increase in glutaraldehyde concentration and exposure time. It was determined at what optimum parameters of the combined treatment the growth of the strain stopped and a comparatively high level of glucose isomerase activity was preserved.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases (ASM)

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
