    Author : Josefine Kanberg; [2008]
    Keywords : C. pneumoniae; TWAR; PCR; Cultivation; Chlamatis;

    Abstract : The purpose of the study was to set up a method for cultivation of C. pneumoniae from infected mouse tissue in Hep2 cells. We also evaluated a new reagent, Chlamatis, which is considered to increase the detection sensitivity of the bacterium with both PCR and cultivation. All 10 serum samples treated with Chlamatis were negative for C. READ MORE

  4. 3. Antimicrobial effect of zygomycetes cell wall on nonwoven textiles

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Institutionen Ingenjörshögskolan

    Author : Patrik Lennartsson; [2007]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The goal of this thesis work was to investigate the antimicrobial effect of chitosan from zygomyzetes cell wall material in nonwoven textiles and compare it to commercially available chitosan. This was done using two methods, a somewhat modified version of AATCC Test Method 100-2004 (a standard method for quantitative testing of antimicrobial effect in textiles developed by the AATCC Committee) focusing on CFU, and TTC, a tetrazolium salt that changes from colourless to red in the presence of living microorganisms under the right conditions.
