Microplastics (MPs) biofilms in drinking water and wastewater treatment plants (DWTPs and
WWTPs) have gained increasing attention due to their potential to come into close contact …

Innate (-like) T lymphocytes such as natural killer T (NKT) cells play a pivotal role in the
recognition of microbial infections and their subsequent elimination. They frequently localize …

Blood is considered to be a sterile microenvironment, in which bacteria appear only
periodically. Previously used methods allowed only for the detection of either viable bacteria …

ABSTRACT Sphingomonadaceae (n= 86) were isolated from a drinking water treatment
plant (n= 6), tap water (n= 55), cup fillers for dental chairs (n= 21), and a water …

The agents of human febrile illness can vary by region and country suggesting that
diagnosis, treatment, and control programs need to be based on a methodical evaluation of …

Although the source of drinking water (DW) used in hospitals is commonly disinfected,
biofilms forming on water pipelines are a refuge for bacteria, including possible pathogens …

The organisms covered in this chapter belong to a group of taxonomically and
phylogenetically diverse, gram‐negative nonfermentative rods and coccobacilli. Still, several …

Highly stable, colloidal iron oxide nanoparticles with an oxyhydroxide-like surface were
used as bacteria-capturing nano-baits. Peptidoglycan isolated from Listeria spp was used as …

Background Sphingomonas paucimobilis is rarely isolated from clinical specimens and it is
associated with a great variety of infections. The aim of this study is to investigate the …

The opportunistic infections with Gram-negative bacilli are frequently reported. The clinical
studies are focused on the course of human infectious and very often the source of infection …
