Abstract

The electrophoretic patterns of the outer membrane proteins of agar-entrapped Escherichia coli cells were found to be different from those of free organisms. In particular, the porin protein OmpF was underexpressed in immobilized bacteria, that displayed enhanced resistance to latamoxef.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

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.
