(Corresponding) Sadunishvili T., Amashukeli N., Gaganidze D., Sturua N., Burbutashvili T., Khatradze S.
Topic:
Antibiotic resistanse
Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus (Cms) is a causative pathogen of potato bacterial ring rot. This devastative pathogen poses a constant threat to potato growers worldwide. It was regarded as a disease of cool northen regions but is currently spreading within Europe, including some...Read more

Environmentally friendly disinfection of air and surfaces in medicine
Pintarič Š., (Corresponding) Pintarič R., (Corresponding) Henigman U., (Corresponding) Janković L.
Topic:
Environmental exposures and human health
Hospitals are faced with increasingly resistant strains of microorganisms. When it comes to disinfection, individual parts of electronic equipment of angiology diagnostics such as patient couches of computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners prove to be very hard to...Read more
Ozonation against a diverse suite of antibiotic resistance determinants in wastewater
Iakovides I., Michael-Kordatou I., Karaolia P., Manoli K., Manaia C., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This work aimed at investigating the impact of bench-scale ozonation, as tertiary treatment, on the removal and inactivation of selected antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, antibiotic resistance genes and toxicity from wastewaters effluents. The novelty of this study concerns the in-depth...Read more
Influence of antibiotics on Arcobacter-like cells and their biofilm formation
(Corresponding) Šilha D., Švarcova K., Hofmeisterová L.
Topic:
Antibiotic resistanse
Arcobacters belong to Gram-negative bacteria, the rod cells can be slightly curved into the shape or spiral. Their growth is typical in a microaerophilic environment, but some species are able to grow under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. The purpose of this study was to test the in vitro effect...Read more
Smoothie Drinks as a Possible Source of Resistant and Biofilm-forming Bacteria
(Corresponding) Šilha D., Syrová P., Syrová L., Janečková J.
Topic:
Antibiotic resistance
Smoothie drinks are currently very popular drinks sold, especially in fast food establishments. However, smoothies are a significant source of microorganisms with a high level of antibiotic resistance. The study aimed to evaluate the microbiological quality of smoothies purchased in Eastern Bohemia...Read more
Wetting study of PVDF - carbon nanodiscs membranes for water treatment applications via membrane distillation
(Corresponding) Tournis I., Panagiotaki K., Sideratou Z., Kouvelos E., (Corresponding) Sapalidis A.
Topic:
Water treatment
Since 80’s, membrane distillation has been identified as a promising water treatment process in various wastewater treatments, such as desalination brine, textile, radioactive and oily wastewater.[1] The demand for membranes with stable flux and prolonged lifespan especially in challenging...Read more
Interface engineering approaches for efficient and robust perovskite solar cells
(Corresponding) Falaras P.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
The field of perovskite photovoltaics has been witnessing a surge of interest over the past few years across the breadth of advanced nanomaterials, nanoscience and nanotechnology. Of particular interest, controlling the nanomorphology of the hybrid perovskite absorber can modify intrinsically...Read more
