Alginate-nanohydroxyapatite hydrogel system: Optimizing the formulation for enh...
Barros, J.; Ferraz, Maria Pia; Azeredo, J.; Fernandes, M.H.; Gomes, P.S.; Monteiro, F.J.Ceramic/polymer-based biocomposites have emerged as potential biomaterials tofill, replace, repair or re-generate injured or diseased bone, due to their outstanding features in terms of biocompatibility, bioactivity,injectability, and biodegradability. However, these properties can be dependent on the amount of ceramiccomponent present in the polymer-based composite. Therefore, in the present study, the influen...

Method for bacteriophage isolation against target campylobacter strains
Carvalho, C.; Susana, M.; Fernandes, E.; Santos, S.; Gannon, B.; Nicolau, A.; Gibbs, P.; Teixeira, P.; Azeredo, J.Aims: Poultry meat is considered a major source of Campylobacter. This micro-aerobic bacterium is commonly responsible for foodborne illness. This work focuses on the isolation of Campylobacter coli lytic bacteriophages (phages) against target C. coli strains. Methods and Results: A method involving the enrichment of free-range chicken samples in a broth containing the target C. coli strains and salts (CaCl2 an...
