Efficacy of conventional and novel antimicrobial treatments on the inactivation of desiccated cells and biofilms of Salmonella
DownloadSpring 2024
Repeated isolation of Salmonella from the dry and wet environments of the food industry poses a significant concern to human health. It is crucial to understand the influence of the various environmental conditions on Salmonella’s survival. The overall objective of this research was to evaluate...

Microbial biodeterioration of human skeletal material from Tell Leilan, Syria (2900 – 1900 BCE)
DownloadSpring 2011
Human bone is considered one of the most direct and insightful sources of information on peoples of the past. As a result, curation protocols have been developed to ensure that the integrity of human skeletal collections is maintained. Although collections are generally considered safe when these...
