Blindness and visual impairment have far-reaching implications for society, the more so when it is realized that 80% of visual disability is avoidable.The marked increase in the size of the elderly population, with their greater propensity for visually disabling conditions, presents a further challenge in this respect.However, if available knowledg
The paper presents a particular form of soil instability, which is rarely observed in Slovenia.This is a lateral spread of the soil, which appeared some years ago in the central part of Dolina area in the municipality of Puconci.The area is mainly build up from clay and sandy sediments of the Pannonian Sea, predominantly Pliocene age.A significant
Abstract Background Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp.brasiliense is a broad host range bacterial pathogen, which causes blackleg of potatoes and bacterial soft rot of vegetables worldwide.Production of plant cell wall degrading enzymes is usually critical for Pectobacterium infection.However, other virulence factors and the mechanisms of genetic ad
To scalp serum date, two genotypes, i.e., genotype 1 (G1) and genotype 2 (G2), of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) have been identified in swine, while the cross protection between the G2a and G1a subgenotypes is undetermined.Hence, in the present study, we attempted to observe a comparative pathogenicity and cross protection of G1a (CV777) a
Summary: Biofilm formation, a major concern for healthcare systems, is initiated when bacteria adhere to surfaces.Escherichia coli adhesion is scalp serum mediated by appendages, including type-1 fimbriae and curli amyloid fibers.Antifouling surfaces prevent the adhesion of bacteria to combat biofilm formation.Here, we used single-cell force-spectr
