The enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) method is widely adopted for phosphorus removal from waste-water, yet little is known about its microbiological and molecular mechanisms.
Our hope, even expectation, is that the intensive basic research at K-RITH will identify microbiological pathways and mechanisms that will lead to new drug targets.
In some of the analyses, we dichotomised antibiotics as penicillin V and non-penicillin V. We always analysed macrolides and lincosamides as one antibiotic group, because of similarities in microbiological effects and resistance mechanisms.
Besides detailed concepts about microbiological, molecular, and cellular mechanisms, which determine the strength and balance of the cellular and humoral host response in tissues, it became apparent that a complex and primarily endogenous periodontal microflora is responsible for disease initiation and progression.
Surface recession, salt crystallisation and microbiological growth are the deterioration mechanisms the tool aims to track.
A combination of microbiological and ecological knowledge, biochemical mechanisms and field engineering designs would be an essential element for successful in situ bioremediation of heavy metal contaminated sites using engineered bacteria.
30 This study was not designed to investigate these mechanisms and additional microbiological study is warranted.
Although our data somehow suggested an inducible mechanism for carbapenem resistant strains to emerge under the selective pressure of carbapenem, there has been so far no microbiological evidence linking any resistance mechanism to such a phenomenon.
Further investigations should include microbiological investigation of the proposed mechanism of increasing resistance, as well as assessing the effect of outpatient fluoroquinolone prescriptions on resistance within the healthcare system.
Here, we summarize the diversified mechanistic features of class A β-lactamases interactions with mechanism-based inhibitors using available microbiological, kinetic and structural data for the prototype TEM β-lactamases.
