Current microbial inhibition strategies based on planktonic bacterial physiology have been
known to have limited efficacy on the growth of biofilm communities. This problem can be …

Flow cytometry (FC) is a powerful technique for the rapid analysis of single cells in a mixture,
by means of light-scattering and fluorescence measurements. In biotechnology, the power of …

Background Viability staining with SYTO9 and propidium iodide (PI) is a frequently used tool
in microbiological studies. However, data generated by such routinely used method are …

INTRODUCTION: The present study was designed to develop a standardized model for
quantification of the effectiveness of dentin disinfection by different antibacterial solutions …

Whole-cell biosensors have several advantages for the detection of biological substances
