TL;DR: The application of matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) as a single identification and source-tracking tool for a collection of L. monocytogenes isolates, obtained predominantly from dairy sources within Australia, was explored.

TL;DR: A simple and rapid proteomics-based MALDI-TOF MS approach was developed to detect L. monocytogenes from broth cultures, and very low levels of the pathogen could be identified from different food samples post-enrichment in selective enrichment broths.

TL;DR: This poster presents a probabilistic procedure for quantifying the immune response to several types of viruses and its applications in clinical and epidemiological research.

TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of using commercially available and inexpensive technical-grade reagents for the cultivation of ureolytic bacteria and enhancement of soil stabilization was investigated, and the results indicated that the growth of bacteria in low-cost cultivation medium was similar to that observed in the standard cultivation medium.

TL;DR: Most of the extracts showed bactericidal effects and reduced the number of viable cells by 4–6 logs within four hours, while the extracts from Acacia kempeana leaves and Lepidosperma viscidum stem base exhibited bacteriostatic activity against VRE.
