Towards more accurate detection of pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria in waters

Current Opinion in Biotechnology
Caterina Signoretto, Pietro Canepari

Abstract

Medically important bacteria can persist in surface waters longer than was previously thought, by activating specific survival strategies and, thus, may represent a further threat to human health, in that they are non-detectable by the traditional culture methods currently used for the evaluation of microbiological quality. Combining microbial physiology, microbial biochemistry, microbial genetics, microbial ecology and molecular biology techniques allow us to achieve more accurate detection of human pathogens located in natural environments external to the human body.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
