Os objetivos deste estudo foram avaliar o efeito antimicrobiano de diferentes concentrações de óleo de copaíba contra o crescimento de Listeria monocytogenes e analisar as diferenças na inibição do microorganismo com soluções do óleo autoclavadas e não autoclavadas. Para tanto, foi realizado um teste de difusão em ágar, com seis isolados do microrganismo originários de produtos cárneos, seis concentrações de am...
Biofilmes bacterianos estão envolvidos no agravamento e recorrência de mastite clínica em rebanhos leiteiros. Vários fatores, tais como o pH, temperatura, concentração de O2 e glicose podem afetar sua indução e suas taxas de crescimento. Neste estudo, a produção de biofilme foi demonstrada por 27 isolados de Escherichia coli de mastite bovina a valores de pH diferentes, dependendo da disponibilidade de glucose,...
The present study aimed to assess the performance of alternative protocols to enumerate lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in salami. Fourteen cultures and two mixed starter cultures were plated using six protocols: 1) Petrifilm™ Aerobic Count (AC) with MRS broth and chlorophenol red (CR), incubated under aerobiosis or 2) under anaerobiosis, 3) MRS agar with CR, 4) MRS agar with bromocresol purple, 5) MRS agar at pH 5....
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB, n = 57) were previously obtained from raw goat milk, identified as Lactococcus spp. (n = 24) and Enterococcus spp. (n = 33), and characterized as bacteriocinogenic. Fingerprinting by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) demonstrated high genetic diversity, and 30 strains were selected and exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against 46 target strains (LAB, spoilage, and foodborn...
Periodontal disease is a highly prevalent illness that affects many dogs, reaching up to 85 % prevalence in individuals over the age of 4 years. Currently the drug of choice for combating the formation of dental plaque in these animals, the etiologic agent of the disease, is chlorhexidine, which has several side effects reported. Thus, surveys are conducted throughout the world in order to identify potential su...
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; Periodontal disease affects about 85% of dogs older than four years and is caused by the buildup of plaque on the tooth surface and its body's reaction.In other work, Copaiba oil presented positive results in the inhibition of dental plaque in dogs, however the literature do not present any study that identifying this activity against bacteria from do...
