TL;DR: The findings indicate that CBD may pose as a putative adjuvant agent for tailored co-application with selected antibiotics, depending on bacterial species, to increase antibiotic activity, including via MV inhibition, and help reduce antibiotic resistance.

TL;DR: It is shown that PAD inhibitors can be used to effectively reduce OMV/MV release, both in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, and this resulted in enhanced antibiotic sensitivity of both E. coli and S. aureus to a range of antibiotics tested.

TL;DR: Results revealed a diversity of bacterial genera, species and subspecies associated with submerged cassava fermentation, including ability to produce antimicrobial peptides as a first step to define starter cultures for controlled cassava fermentations.

TL;DR: The investigations revealed the predominance (72.2%) of species of the Bacillus pumilus group i.e. B. cereus strains which were also able to produce haemolysin in Ntoba Mbodi, a Congolese food.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified the key lactic acid bacteria associated with the fermentation of dairy traditional fermented products for developing starter cultures for controlled fermentation using rep-PCR genotyping and sequencing of the 16S rRNA, pheS and rpoA genes.
