The study method involved the identification of multidrug-resistant bacteria through antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). Nine standard bacterial strains exhibited resistance to different antibiotics, with a MAR index exceeding 0.10, including Ampicillin, Vancomycin, Polymyxin B, Nitrofurantoin, Trimethoprim, and penicillins.In the present study bioactive compounds from lemon peel were extracted using two solvents, methanol and water, and their efficacy was assessed against drug-resistant bacteria. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values, determined by using the well plate method, revealed lower MIC values for the water extract (LPWE) compared to the methanol extract (LPME) and quercetin. For instance, the MIC for LPWE against E. hermanniensis ATCC 700323 was 140 mg/ml, whereas it was 50 mg/ml for quercetin & 1 mg/ml for LPME. From the results, it can be interpreted that Methanol extract was most effective against drug-resistant bacteria when compared to water extract and quercetin.Furthermore, GC-MS analysis was performed to analyze the chemical entities present in each extract. Given the activity of LPME, LPWE, and Quercetin against both Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria, these extracts hold promise as broad-spectrum antibacterial agents applicable in various fields such as medicine, food, and cosmetics.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":16348,"journal":{"name":"Journal of microbiology, biotechnology and food sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141107496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The presence of pesticide residues in agricultural commodities needs to be strategically solved by applying gentle agrotechnical procedures. The research aimed to evaluate the effect of the treatment of grapevine with fungicides on the content and mobility of 4 active substances in the leaves of the variety Hibernal. The experiment included a control variant treated with fungicides and an untreated variant. We focused on monitoring the active substances of fungicides used in the first half of the vegetation: azoxystrobin, cyflufenamid, difenoconazole, myclobutanil, and another 25 active substances, in terms of multi-residue analysis methodologies. Grape leaves for analysis were collected on two dates: in the phenological phase of berry development BBCH 73 and 14 days after grape harvest – BBCH 91. Samples were prepared according to STN EN 15662. For qualitative analyzes of residues, we used the QuEChERS method in combination with liquid (LC-MS/MS) and gas (GC-MS/MS) chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. In the untreated variant, the contents of residues from both leaves collection were in undetectable values. In the leaf samples of the treated variant collected in BBCH 73, we established higher values of residues than the MRL determines, namely for azoxystrobin 0.083 mg/kg (MRL – 0.01 mg/kg). Azoxystrobin is the active substance of the Quadris max fungicide, and we applied this preparation 41 days before the first collection of leaves. In the analyzes of leaf sampling from the treated variant after grape harvest in BBCH 91, we found a decrease in the content of all monitored residues below detectable values. We consider the gradual degradation of residues in biological materials to be a very favorable result from the point of view of their impact on consumer health and the environment. Through visual observations of the vegetation, we found out that even the untreated variant had a perfect state of health. Hibernal is a variety suitable for biological production systems, and we assume that even in vintages with high pressure of fungal diseases, it is possible to maintain the health of the grapevine with ecological products. Using the appropriate grape variety combined with the right agrotechnical interventions makes it possible to use safer ecological practices to produce healthy food, maintaining sustainability and a healthy natural environment. The research will continue in the early Table grape varieties, where the vegetation period is shorter, and space for breaking down the residues is more difficult.","PeriodicalId":16348,"journal":{"name":"Journal of microbiology, biotechnology and food sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141110469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The subject of the study was the eggshell thickness with membranes of the influence of the sample taken on the egg in equatorial plane 1, equatorial plane 2, equatorial plane 3, at the sharp end and the blunt end of the egg, and a laying hen of breed Dominant aged 61 weeks (3 small-breedings) and 104 weeks (1 small-breeding). The measurement of eggshell thickness was carried out using a DIAL INDICATOR deviation meter, with an accuracy of 0.01 mm and a maximum thickness of 30 mm. The SAS statistical package, version 8.2, was used for statistical evaluation of the results. The influence of the location of the eggshell sample taken in 3 locations of the equatorial plane, at the sharp and blunt end of the egg on its thickness in the range of average values of 0.32 to 0.40 mm was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The influence of laying hen age was statistically significant (P≤0.05) by a higher eggshell thickness in the range of average values of 0.38 to 0.40 mm at 104 weeks compared with eggshell thickness of average values of 0.32 to 0.35 mm at 61 weeks. A strong linear positive correlation in eggshell thickness was found between two variables at all investigated sample locations on eggs laid by laying hens Dominant regardless of age. The overall results of eggshell thickness indicate that its evaluation is a complex process as an indicator of eggshell quality due to multifactorial external and internal influence. Considering the trend of lengthening the laying cycle in laying hens for environmental reasons, it is important to address the influence of age, housing system and breed suitability in relation to optimizing the uniformity of the thickness as part of the shell quality of the eggs.","PeriodicalId":16348,"journal":{"name":"Journal of microbiology, biotechnology and food sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141112068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the mandatory health safety features of raw goat's milk is the total bacterial count. It can be determined by the anchor plate-cultivation method, which is, however, tedious, and laborious. Laser flow cytometry is a modern alternative method for measuring the microbiological quality of raw milk. To use the results from laser flow cytometry method for legislative purposes, it is necessary to create a representative conversion of the primarily measured results obtained by this method into the CFU/mL scale. This work describes the creation of such a conversion for raw goat's milk, which will be valid for the Slovak region. After measuring several hundred individual and bulk tank samples of raw goat's milk on a BactoScan FC laser flow cytometer and at the same time using the anchor method according to STN EN ISO 4833-1 and after their subsequent logarithmic transformation, such a conversion was created in the form of log10(CFU/mL) = 1.0174 x log10(IBC/ml) + 2.7483. Subsequently, this was verified by comparing the recalculated and directly measured results in CFU/mL, using additional data set of samples.

This review deals with the mechanisms through which nanoparticles interact with cells and analyses their potential consequences for an individual's health. The main mechanisms of toxicity are oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, cell damage, and genetic changes that can lead to apoptosis or other cellular responses. These effects are often modified by various factors, including the size and shape of the nanoparticles, their surface treatment and chemical composition. The work highlights significant differences in the responses of cells of different organ systems to nanoparticles, thereby pointing the need for a more precise examination of toxic effects depending on the biological context. This review also discusses important methods for assessing nanoparticle toxicity, including in vitro experiments, in vivo animal studies, and various clinical studies. The aim of this review was to provide a comprehensive overview of this important issue, which has significant implications for public health and the environment.
