Pattern of gene expression of M. mazei in response to 10 uM bismuth nitrate was analyzed relative to gene expression pattern of M. mazei grown in the presence of 30 uM potassium nitrate (control cultures). Therefore, five pre-cultures of M. mazei was grown to mid-exponential growth-phase. Then, the ...
Antibiotic resistance is one of the major threats to human health. Combination of antibiotics with metals is among the proposed alternative treatments. However, so far only one such combination with the metal bismuth successfully used in clinics against Helicobacter pylori. This bacterial pathogen c...
Label-free quantification of quantitative proteomics was performed to to extensively understand the effects of bismuth drugs (25 µM RBC) on Porphyromonas gingivalis.
