Density-dependent mechanism for antibiotic tolerance in rod bacteria
(2021-07)The peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall provides shape and structure to most bacteria. There are two systems to build PG in rod shaped organisms: the elongasome and divisome, which are made up of many proteins including the ... -
Identification and Expression of the Holin Gene in Shiga-Toxigenic Escherichia coli Specific Bacteriophages and the Use of Bacteriophage Depolymerase on STEC Biofilms Formed on Food Contact Surfaces
(2019-05)Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) are one of the most common foodborne pathogens, responsible for numerous outbreaks of foodborne illness annually. The persistence of this group of pathogens makes them an incredible ... -
Improving Molecular Detection and Discrimination of Salmonella and Shiga Toxin-producing Escherichia Coli
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-12-01)Foodborne illnesses caused by non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and Salmonella enterica (SE) are significant health concerns and economic burdens worldwide. While SE is an established pathogen, causing ... -
Occurrence and Distribution of Fecal Indicator Bacteria with Respect to Urban and Rural Land Uses
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-05-01)There are many streams in Oklahoma that are vulnerable to fecal contamination from a variety of sources. The primary objective of this study was to determine the relative distribution of alternative indicator species such ... -
Utilization of Double Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) Plasma Reactor in the Destruction of Escherichia Coli and Bacillus Subtilis
(Oklahoma State University, 2005-05-01)The purpose of the study is to determine the efficiency of DBD reactor in the destruction of Escherichia Coli and Bacillus Subtilis. Both the bacteria were tested at flow rates of 2.5 L/min, 4.5 L/min and at voltages of ...
