IDENTIFICATION AND GENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF CONJUGATIVE PLASMIDS ENCODING CORESISTANCE TO CIPROFLOXACIN AND CEPHALOSPORIN IN FOODBORNE VIBRIO SPP.

Identification and Genetic Characterization of Conjugative Plasmids Encoding Coresistance to Ciprofloxacin and Cephalosporin in Foodborne Vibrio spp.

ABSTRACT Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) determinants, such as Computer Cooling Fan qnrVC genes, have been widely reported in Vibrio spp.while other types of PMQR genes were rarely reported in these bacteria.This study characterized the phenotypic and genotypic features of foodborne Vibrio spp.carrying qnrS, a key PMQR gene in Enteroba

Antibiofouling Performance by Polyethersulfone Membranes Cast with Oxidized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes and Arabic Gum

Despite extensive research efforts focusing on tackling membrane biofouling, one of the biggest problems associated with membrane technology, there has been little headway in this area.This study presents novel polyethersulfone (PES) membranes synthesized via a phase inversion method at incremental loadings of functionalized oxidized multiwalled ca
