Resistance to ��-lactams in Bacteria Isolated from Different Types of Portuguese Cheese

The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of β-lactam-resistant bacteria in six different types of Portuguese cheese. The numbers of ampicillin resistant (AMP^r) bacteria varied from 4.7 × 10² to 1.5 × 10⁷ CFU/g. Within 172 randomly selected β-lactam-resistant bacteria, 44 resistant phenotypes were found and 31.4% were multidrug resistant. The majority (85%) of the isolates identified belonged to the Enterobacteriaceae family. The presence of the bla_TEM gene was detected in 80.9% of the tested isolates. The results suggest that without thermal processing of the milk and good hygienic practices, cheese may act as a vehicle of transfer of β-lactam-resistant bacteria to the gastrointestinal tract of consumers.     

Ni金属诱导晶化非晶硅(a-Si:H)薄膜

对在氢化非晶硅薄膜（a-Si：H）上溅射金属Ni的样品进行金属诱导晶化（MIC）／金属诱导横向晶化（MILC），制备多晶硅薄膜（p-Si）的上艺及薄膜特性进行了研究。XRD测最结果表明非晶硅在500℃退火1h后就已经全部晶化。金属诱导晶化的优选晶向为（220）．而且晶粒随退火时间的延长而长大。非晶硅薄膜样品500℃下退火6h后的扫描电镜照片显示，原金属镍覆盖区非晶硅全部晶化．晶粒均匀．平均晶粒大小约为0．3μm，而且已经发生横向晶化。EDS测试Ni在晶化的非晶硅薄膜中的原子百分含量分析表明，金属Ni在MILC过程中的作用只是催化晶化．除了少量残留在MILC多晶硅中外．其余的Ni原子都迁移至晶化的前沿。500℃下退火20h后样品的Raman测试结果也表明．金属离子向周边薄膜扩散．横向晶化了非晶硅薄膜。

Preparation of an optimized ciprofloxacin-loaded chitosan nanomicelle with enhanced antibacterial activity

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of lipid structure on physicochemical properties of chitosan-fatty acid nanomicelles and prepare an optimum ciprofloxacin-loaded formulation from these conjugates which could enhance the antibacterial effects of drug against some important pathogens like P. aeruginosa.

Significance: Nowadays, resistance in infectious diseases is a growing worldwide concern. Nanocarriers can increase the therapeutic index and consequently reduce the antibiotic resistance. By site-specific delivery of drug, the adverse effects of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin would be reduced.

Methods: Fatty acid grafted chitosan conjugates were synthetized in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide. The effects of fatty acid type (stearic acid, palmitic acid, and linoleic acid) on physicochemical properties of conjugates were investigated. Ciprofloxacin was encapsulated in nanomicelles by thin film hydration method. Also, the preparation process was optimized with a central composite design. The antibacterial effect of optimum formulation against P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, and S. pneumoniae species was determined.

Results: All conjugates were synthetized with high yield values and the substitution degrees ranged between 2.13 and 35.46%. Ciprofloxacin was successfully encapsulated in nanomicelles. The optimum formulation showed high drug loading (≈?19%), with particle size of about 260?nm and a sustained release profile of ciprofloxacin. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of ciprofloxacin in optimum formulation against P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae species were 4 and 2 times lower in comparison with the free drug, respectively.

Conclusions: The antibacterial effect of ciprofloxacin was improved by encapsulation of drug in chitosan nanomicelles.     

Broad-Spectrum Bactericidal Activity of a Synthetic Random Copolymer Based on 2-Methoxy-6-(4-Vinylbenzyloxy)-Benzylammonium Hydrochloride

Low-molecular-weight organic ammonium salts exert excellent antimicrobial effects by interacting lethally with bacterial membranes. Unfortunately, short-term functionality and high toxicity limit their clinical application. On the contrary, the equivalent macromolecular ammonium salts, derived from the polymerization of monomeric ammonium salts, have demonstrated improved antibacterial potency, a lower tendency to develop resistance, higher stability, long-term activity, and reduced toxicity. A water-soluble non-quaternary copolymeric ammonium salt (P7) was herein synthetized by copolymerizing 2-methoxy-6-(4-vinylbenzyloxy)-benzylammonium hydrochloride monomer with N, N-di-methyl-acrylamide. The antibacterial activity of P7 was assessed against several multidrug-resistant (MDR) clinical isolates of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative species. Except for colistin-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, most isolates were susceptible to P7, also including some Gram-negative bacteria with a modified charge in the external membrane. P7 showed remarkable antibacterial activity against isolates of Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Acinetobacter, and Pseudomonas, and on different strains of Escherichia coli and Stenotrophomonas maltophylia, regardless of their antibiotic resistance. The lowest minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) observed were 0.6–1.2 µM and the minimal bactericidal concentrations (MBC) were frequently overlapping with the MICs. In 24-h time–kill and turbidimetric studies, P7 displayed a rapid non-lytic bactericidal activity. P7 could therefore represent a novel and potent tool capable of counteracting infections sustained by several bacteria that are resistant to the presently available antibiotics.     

MIC薄膜多晶硅材料的动态镍吸除技术基本机理及其应用

首先阐述了MIC薄膜多晶硅材料动态镍吸杂技术的基本机理和主要工艺过程,然后以多晶硅薄膜晶体管(poly-Si TFT)为例研究了动态吸杂技术的应用.在研究金属诱导晶化多晶硅材料(MIC poly-Si)和以之为有源层的poly-Si TFT的过程中,发现在MIC多晶硅薄膜中含有部分残余的镍成份.而大部分存在于对撞晶界的残余镍成份会造成大量的缺陷,这将导致TFT器件性能乃至整个系统的稳定性和可靠性的降低.为了改善MIC薄膜及器件质量,我们采用磷硅玻璃(PSG)动态镍吸杂技术,有效地吸除镍,降低多晶硅中镍的残留量,改善对撞晶界的缺陷密度,降低用之制备TFT的漏电流.该技术工艺过程简单,处理成本低,适合于大批量的工业化生产,有望成为制备高稳定性微电子器件与电路系统的必需工艺技术.

Germicidal Properties of Ozonated Sunflower Oil

The aim of this work was to establish the minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) of ozonated sunflower oil for various microorganisms. To determine the influence of the ozonated medium on the growth of bacteria Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and yeast Candida albicans the Petri dish method was used. Chemical and physical properties of ozonated sunflower oil were additionally studied. Microbiological studies proved that these microbes have various sensibility against ozonated oil. The most resistant are gram-negative bacteria E. coli and the yeast C. albicans. Gram-positive bacteria, B. subtilis turned out to be less resistant, because no growth was observed for preparation with an ozone dose of 200 mgO₃/g oil.
