The effect of electromagnetic field on antimicrobial activity of lime oil.

Abstract:

:The antimicrobial activity of lime oil was significantly enhanced against Staphylococcus epidermidis in a pulsed electromagnetic field. These findings support other workers who found that electromagnetic fields augment antimicrobial activity.

  • Development of RNA aptamers for detection of Salmonella Enteritidis.

    abstract::We developed and evaluated RNA aptamers to analyze their potential for use in detecting Salmonella Enteritidis. The selected aptamer was observed to specifically bind to Salmonella Enteritidis without any cross-reactivity to other Salmonella serovars. Thus, this study suggests that aptamers specific to Salmonella Ente...
